This headline likely refers to a troubling trend in Japan where criminal organizations or scam rings are recruiting individuals through social media platforms to commit crimesβ€”particularly "yami baito" (ι—‡γƒγ‚€γƒˆ), or "dark part-time jobs." These are illegal jobs often promoted as high-paying, short-term gigs, but actually involve activities like:

Bank fraud

Courier scams

ATM theft

Phone scams targeting the elderly

🔍 What's happening:
Young people, including students and those financially struggling, are being targeted.

Recruiters use messaging apps like LINE, Twitter, and Instagram.

Some recruits aren't aware of the full extent of the criminal activity until it's too late.

The Japanese police have been ramping up crackdowns and awareness campaigns.

Media outlets like NHK WORLD-JAPAN are covering this to warn the public.

Would you like a summary of the full NHK report or details on how Japan is responding legally or technologically to this trend?
