Beware of Recruitment Scams

Recruitment scams target job seekers by impersonating legitimate companies or recruiters. The objective is to obtain personal or financial information, often by requesting illegitimate payments such as registration fees, training costs, or equipment charges. One common method involves fake job offer letters for positions that do not exist.


Common Characteristics of Recruitment Scams:

  1. Impersonation of a Legitimate Company
    Scammers pose as a reputable company or recruitment agency, often using fake logos, email addresses, or websites to appear credible.
  2. Requests for Payment
    Victims are asked to pay fees for training or equipment. A legitimate company will never require payment at any stage of the recruitment process.
  3. Unrealistic Job Offers
    Scams often promise unusually high salaries or benefits without a proper selection process.
  4. Unprofessional Recruitment Process
    Job offers are sent without interviews, or through suspicious emails, text messages, or unofficial apps.
  5. Requests for Personal or Financial Information
    Scammers may ask for sensitive data such as bank account numbers, credit card details, or identification documents.

How to Protect Yourself:

  • Verify the Company
    Check the official company website, social media channels, and employee reviews to confirm legitimacy.
  • Be Cautious of Suspicious Offers
    Avoid offers that promise high salaries without a reasonable recruitment process.
  • Never Make Payments
    Do not pay any fees related to job offers.
  • Check Email and Website Domains
    Ensure emails come from the company’s official domain, not a lookalike.
  • Protect Your Personal Information
    Never share sensitive details unless you are certain of the other party’s identity and legitimacy.
  • Use Trusted Sources
    Apply only through the company’s official website or reputable job platforms.
  • Report Scams
    If you are targeted or become a victim, report the incident to authorities or a consumer protection agency.
