Beware of fake job offers
No agent, officer or website can get you an Ombudsperson Punjab job for money. The ad prints no fee, so anyone who asks you to pay is cheating you. Apply online only on jobs.punjab.gov.pk, or by courier only to the office address in the ad. If someone asks you for money, report it through the Pakistan Citizen’s Portal.
