Indonesia’s Agriculture Ministry has issued a warning to the public regarding fraudulent recruitment announcements circulating on social media and messaging apps. The ministry explicitly stated that information regarding the recruitment of “Agricultural Census 2026 Officers” is false and not affiliated with the ministry itself. This hoax is prompting concern about potential scams targeting individuals seeking employment. Authorities are urging citizens to be cautious and verify information directly through official ministry channels. The Ministry has not initiated any recruitment process for the 2026 census at this time. Citizens are advised to disregard any requests for fees or personal information related to this purported recruitment drive. The Ministry is taking steps to address the spread of misinformation and protect the public from falling victim to this scam.
