FRAUD-RECRUITMENT ALERT!!!

Corporate frauds have become rampant and have widely spread over the years. We at Network18 Media & Investments Limited and its Group Companies have observed a trend wherein certain fraudster individuals and companies have been approaching innocent job seekers and promising them lucrative job offers in our group companies. Once a potential applicant is taken into confidence, these fraudsters ask them to make payments to a designated bank account or through mobile payment gateways, after creating scenarios to the actual appointment or interview.

Here’s how it works:

• The first payment demands are generally in small amounts so that the aspirant is not alerted and takes it in stride.
• Once he/she is in the net, the fraudster slowly increases the amount, with the dates coming closer to the designated interview or appointment.
• There are also trends that have seen them demand large amounts on the pretext of providing an initial start-up kit, for instance a laptop, computer, or some kind of training.
• Besides money, these fraudsters have reportedly been seeking personal information to process the application. This data is invariably later sold in the market.
