Infosys Warns Job Seekers of Recruitment Fraud: Here’s How to Identify Fake Offers

Infosys has issued a warning to job seekers about an increase in recruitment fraud involving scammers who post fraudulent job openings or who contact job seekers with fake job offers. The company said, in a statement that, some individuals claiming to be from Infosys Recruitment function have even conducted fraudulent interviews in an attempt to obtain personal information or money from the applicants.

“We have also noticed that certain individuals claiming to be from the Infosys Recruitment function are contacting prospective candidates pretending to represent the company with job offers. In case you or any candidate receives any unsolicited or fraudulent communication regarding a job offer or an interview call against payment of money, please stay alert and recognize it as a scam,” said a statement from the IT bellwether.

Infosys Pointers to Recognise Fake Job Offers

The company says that candidates need to keep the following pointers in mind suppose they get a call from any individual for a job offer:

• Infosys never requests fees for any purpose during or after the hiring processor, or never requests money for the opportunity to apply or work.
• Interviews are conducted on campus, and the company never interviews candidates over instant messaging apps.
• The recruitment team corresponds from email addresses with the domain @infosys.com. However, there is also a possibility of scammers to display the sent email domain address as @infosys.com fraudulently. Nevertheless, receiving emails will be possible only with the legitimate @infosys.com domain. In case any generic email ID ending with Gmail or Yahoo domain is copied while receiving a job offer or interview call, please be alert on the likelihood of a scammer.
• The Infosys recruitment team never requests personal details such as bank account details, tax forms or credit card or debit card details.

Job seekers have also been advised by the company to visit the nearest Infosys office, or verify suppose they get a job offer from Infosys.
