At the end of the old year and the beginning of the new year, the demand for jobs increases, making many people vulnerable to recruitment scams.
Recruitment scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated.
Besides the "easy job, high salary" scams that prey on the greed of job applicants, nowadays, scams are becoming increasingly diverse and sophisticated, making it easy for many people to fall into their traps.
Hanoi City Police have reported that recently, a form of impersonation of banks to recruit employees has appeared in the city. The scammers will ask victims to participate in trial bank projects, then lead them to invest in order to steal their assets.
Recruitment scams are becoming increasingly diverse and sophisticated.
According to the Vietnam Social Policy Bank (NHCSXH), one of the common tricks used by scammers is to ask candidates to pay money to participate in entrance exams, buy study materials, or pay unclear fees under the pretext of "guaranteeing admission," then ask candidates to transfer a certain amount of money, or participate in a lottery program... After that, they disappear or continue to demand more money.
Furthermore, many scammers impersonate large companies to reach their targets. They use email content and websites with polished domain names, making it difficult for applicants to distinguish between genuine and fake. The recent development of AI applications, which make it easier to create realistic text and images, also poses a significant threat in recruitment scams.
When someone registers to apply, the imposter invites the candidate to join groups on platforms such as Facebook, Zalo, Telegram, Whatsapp, Workplace Chat, Lotus Chat, etc., and then guides them to perform tasks involving paying money under the guise of checking or surveying their abilities. Many victims have lost from a few hundred thousand dong, a few million dong, or even tens or hundreds of millions of dong.
Job seekers need to be extremely cautious when looking for work to avoid falling into traps.
Be vigilant to avoid recruitment scams.
Not only are workers struggling, but banks and businesses are also facing headaches due to misunderstandings, leading to a loss of reputation and a dwindling pool of quality candidates.
Therefore, experts and businesses advise that job seekers should be extremely cautious when looking for and applying for jobs, and take the following preventive measures to avoid falling into the trap of losing money and suffering harm:
– Only access the official recruitment website or link published by the recruiting company.
– Absolutely DO NOT access any links, files, or social media pages that you receive or are introduced to by strangers.
– Absolutely DO NOT transfer money or pay any fees during the recruitment process.
– DO NOT provide scans or original copies of identification documents, bank account information, passwords, payment card details, or any OTP codes sent to your phone.
– When noticing any suspicious signs, job seekers should ask the company for the interview address and contact the employer directly through the official website.
– Proactively protect your personal devices with antivirus software and contact the job posting website to report the issue and receive support.
Best regards!
