We’ve recently encountered a serious issue affecting job seekers in the UK.
Some Fraudsters are impersonating our staffing agency, reaching out to candidates with fake job offers.
These scammers use our brand to deceive people, and you must stay informed and know how to protect yourself.
What’s Happening?
Scammers have started targeting job seekers with convincing messages that seem to come from us.
They offer fake job opportunities, often accompanied by contracts or requests for money upfront.
These fraudulent messages try to create a false sense of urgency, pressuring candidates to act quickly without verifying the offer.
Here’s an example of what these messages might look like:
The scammers have copied our branding and used convincing language to trick candidates into believing the offer is legitimate. They may even send contracts or ask for upfront payments.
No legitimate recruitment agency will ever ask for personal or financial details at this stage.
Briefly put, If you see anything like this, remember, that we do not use WhatsApp or Telegram for recruitment purposes. Any offer that seems to be from us but is sent through these apps is fake.
How to Protect Yourself
To avoid falling victim to these scams, follow these tips:
- Stick to official channels: Our website and emails are the only ways we communicate job offers. If it’s not from our domain, it’s not from us.
- We never ask for payments: No legitimate staffing agency will ask for money or your financial details upfront.
- Verify unsolicited offers: If you receive an unexpected offer that seems suspicious, check our official job listings before responding.
All communication from us will come from our official website or email addresses. If you’re unsure whether a job offer is genuine, here’s what you can do:
- Visit our official website: Check the job listings to verify the legitimacy of the offer.
- Contact us directly: If you have any doubts, reach out through our official contact details found on our website.
- Report suspicious activity: If you’ve been targeted, report the incident to us and the platform where the scam occurred (WhatsApp, Telegram, or similar).
What to do If you’ve been targeted
If you’ve received a suspicious message or job offer:
- Don’t engage: Avoid responding or providing any personal information.
- Report the scam: Notify the platform (e.g., WhatsApp or Telegram) and reach out to us through our official channels.
- Secure your information: If you’ve shared any personal details, update your passwords and monitor your accounts for unusual activity.
