Warning signs that may indicate fraud
Fraudulent recruitment activities often include the following:
- Requiring money from applicants (e.g. for 'visa fees', taxes, a percentage of travel expenses)
- Requesting personal information such as passport and bank account details at the initial stage of the process
- Sending emails from free web-based email accounts such as Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail or Live.com
- Hiding the caller ID during phone conversations
- Using poorly formatted documents
