Council CEO, Seema Shandil

The Consumer Council of Fiji has so far received 87 complaints against the EbayShop recruitment scam, amounting to a total monetary value of $181,829. Council CEO, Seema Shandil believes this is just the tip of the iceberg, as they anticipate more complaints will come forward in the coming days, and a large number of consumers may be hesitant to come forward due to the fear of being ridiculed.

Shandil says the council also welcomes the decisive action taken by Deputy Prime Minister, Manoa Kamikamica in addressing the alarming repercussions of the EbayShop scam.

She says the establishment of this Multi-Interagency Taskforce demonstrates a commitment to protecting the financial wellbeing and security of Fijians.

She again encourages the public to continue to lodge reports and cooperate with the agencies in their investigations.
