A hoarding outside Sion station advertising jobs paying Rs 18,300 at the Navi Mumbai airport caught this paper’s attention. When we called the single number given, the person said he had just had a heart attack and could not speak; yet within few hours hoarding was nowhere in sight; police have advised job seekers to tread carefully with such ads

A suspicious job recruitment banner promising employment linked to Navi Mumbai International Airport was removed from outside Sion railway station late Wednesday evening, hours after a mid-day reporter visited the spot and began making enquiries into the offer.
The banner, which advertised a monthly salary of Rs 18,300 with provident fund benefits and 26 working days, had raised concerns of a potential recruitment scam targeting job seekers hoping to benefit from the airport’s expected employment boom.
