Recruiter Scams - Part 4 - Fraudulent Messages 

More about recruiter scams...

What to look for in a fraudulent message:

• Receiving an unexpected message from an unrecognized sender
• A request for money or payment of unusual fees
• Messages purportedly from recruiting professionals via social messaging apps like SMS, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, etc., or generic personal email accounts like Gmail or iCloud
• Extraordinary job opportunities where you are immediately offered high compensation packages and special benefits
• Requests for unnecessary personal information

What to do if you receive a fraudulent message:

• Do not engage with or respond to the sender
• Do not click on any links or attachments included in the message
• Do not share any personal information with someone you do not know
• Report the message as spam or phishing by using the platform’s “report” feature and block the sender
