Security & Phishing
Index
Latest Update: January 2026
We have identified multiple fraudulent activities where unauthorized individuals misuse company names, branding, and job postings to deceive job seekers. These scams may involve fake job offers, emails, or requests for personal or financial information.
Important Notice
We will never ask candidates for payment, bank details, or sensitive personal information at any stage of the recruitment process.
Protect Yourself
Before sharing any personal or financial information, always verify that you are communicating with an official representative.
- Verify recruiter email domains and company details before responding
- Never share bank details, OTPs, or passwords during job applications
- Avoid offers that guarantee jobs in exchange for payment
- Be cautious of urgent or pressure-based communication
- Confirm job offers through official company channels
If something feels suspicious, pause and verify before taking any action.
Common Scam Warning Signs
- Requests for upfront payment or “processing fees”
- Unofficial email IDs (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo instead of company domain)
- Poorly written job offers or unrealistic salary promises
- Requests for personal documents early in the process
- Lack of proper interview or screening process
