A researcher browses an internet site with a job offer for a United Nations agency that has been flagged as a scam in Nairobi on June 30, 2022. A report by Code for Africa revealed that in 2020 when job losses soared during the Covid-19 pandemic 33 scam recruitment Facebook accounts, groups and pages with more than 184,000 followers targeted people in Kenya, requiring them to send about 350 Kenyan shillings ($3) before placements that never materialised. Syndicates behind these scams rely on the desperation of job seekers who fail to double-check the authenticity of job postings and send money without hesitation to secure employment, said Kenyan cyber security expert Anthony Muiyuro.
