Goa has faced years of jobs-for-cash scams, with agents collecting large sums without receipts, often linked to politicians to avoid tracking. Many victims are promised government roles or high-paying overseas jobs but end up unpaid or without recourse. Politicians raise funds through job scams to buy votes, yet even daily-wage jobs remain insecure. With limited government opportunities, people are urged to consider private sector roles and skills training. The government must act to curb this exploitation.
