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. These emails request that recipients provide personal information, and ultimately payments, to process applications for jobs that do not exist. These fraudsters impersonate Amazon’s recruiters and use the company name/logo, brand names and images illegally, without authorization, and try to extract money as security deposit, documentation processing fees or training fees, uniform, laptop, Mediclaim etc. Amazon India has filed multiple police complaints and court cases to stop these fraudsters despite which such miscreants continue to operate and defraud the general public. Therefore, it is important to stay informed and aware about such fraudulent activities.

How to identify Recruitment fraud?
