The Gujarat government on Friday warned job-seekers not to fall prey to a fake advertisement in newspapers about employment opportunities in various government departments.
This advt sounds dubious. Those who are thinking to apply, please check before paying money as there is nothing like Guj Employment Service! No clarity on organization/work. @GujaratPolice please investigate this. @CMOGuj pic.twitter.com/vtQo2zlWji

The ad, which appeared in newspapers on Thursday in the name of `Gujarat Employment Service”, sought applications for 2,520 vacancies.
Applicants should pay Rs 300 as an application fee, it said, adding that successful candidates will have to work from home due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The government said in a release that the advertisement was fraudulent.
“The Employment and Training Department has learnt that attempts are being made to cheat job-seekers. A fake ad has been published in various newspapers about direct recruitment in government departments,” it said.
“Job-seekers are advised not to fall prey to such fraud,” the release further said.
