Man Imputed in Salta for Repeated Job-Search Fraud

Prosecutors say the case may point to a wider recruitment scam, prompting public warnings to verify offers before sending money or documents.

Overview

  • At least four women filed complaints after being contacted on social media and paying roughly ARS 40,000 each as an advance for supposed judicial job paperwork.
  • Investigators from the Unidad de Delitos Económicos Complejos checked the Ciudad Judicial and found no vacancies in the units the suspect named.
  • The inquiry collected victims’ CVs, medical studies, bank records and WhatsApp exchanges as evidence that the offer and selection process were fabricated.
  • Fiscal Ana Inés Salinas Odorisio formally imputed the accused for repeated fraud and the suspect refused to answer the Fiscalía’s questions during formalization of the case.
  • Local authorities and media warn the flagged cases could be part of a larger network and advise job seekers to confirm vacancies with official judicial channels, never pay upfront fees, and preserve message and payment records when reporting fraud.
