What is recruitment fraud?
Recruitment fraud is a sophisticated
scam offering fictitious job opportunities. This type of
fraud is normally perpetrated through online services such as bogus websites,
or through unsolicited e-mails claiming to be from the company.
How can I identify recruitment fraud?
-
There is an early request for personal information such as address details,
date of birth, résumé, passport details and bank details etc.
-
E-mail correspondence appears to be sent from an officer or senior executive
of the Company, often the CEO, Board of Directors or Human Resources. If the
email doesn’t end in “@iamgold.com”, it’s most likely phony.
-
Frequently, mobile or platform telephone numbers beginning in +44(0)70 are
used.
- There is an insistence of urgency.
What shouldn’t I do if I receive a fraudulent job offer?
-
Do not respond to unsolicited offers of employment from
people you are not familiar with, or were introduced to during the interview
process.

Do not disclose your personal or financial details to
anyone you do not know.
