Job Scams: Accept Recruitment Scam – Don’t Be A Victim
Accept Recruitment UK Scam 2023: Don’t Be A Victim – Have you received a WhatsApp message or email from a Accept Recruitment UK offering you a lucrative job opportunity? Beware! It’s a scam.
Accept Recruitment ( A Global Recruitment Agency) has issued a warning to the public about this recent scam. In their words; We never charge job seekers for our services. We have no operations in Indonesia, and WhatsApp is not a platform we use for business communications.
How does the Accept Recruitment Scam work?
The scam preys upon the eagerness of candidates to find work by using fake job opportunities with high pay to trick recipients. Once they’ve gained their victim’s trust, they request for personal information, and then proceed to convince them to send ‘equipment fee’ or ‘application fee’ money.
People who fall for the scam, end up loosing their money and being vulnerable to identity theft.
5 Signs of a Scam Job Recruitment Offer
1. If You’re Asked To Pay Money
Legitimate employers and hiring managers don’t require an application fee or expect you to pay for training. Sometimes this fee can be labelled ‘equipment fee’ for training. Whatever name it is, don’t fall for it.
2. Upfront Requests for Sensitive Information
Sensitive information (like your social security number, date of birth, or bank account information) isn’t a part of early recruitment process. Eventually, your employer will need this information for taxes and benefits enrollment, but only after you have a written job offer and sometimes not until your first day on the job.
3. Impersonates a Recruitment Company
In order to gain your trust, the scammers often use the name and brand of known recruitment companies. The first thing you should do is to search for the company’s official email address online and contact them in regards to the job. That way, you can verify if it is scam or legit.
4. Only Uses Texts and Online Chats
As technology evolves, so do scams, and some recruitment scams have migrated to texts or online chats especially via WhatsApp. Most legitimate companies don’t reach out to recruit via text unless you already applied on the company’s site and opted to receive text messages.
5. If It Seems Too Good To Be True
It feels great that a company is fast-tracking you, contacting you within an hour of applying, and doesn’t require an interview or checking references. But as the saying goes, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Conclusion
The Accept Recruitment Scam is a job recruitment scam that uses high pay to trick people into paying a fake ‘application fee’ and revealing their personal information. Don’t fall for it!
