Phishing attempts
It has come to our attention that scammers are contacting people via WhatsApp, email, telephone and LinkedIn InMail pretending to work for Frazer Jones and offering fake job opportunities (see an example of a scam message below). We therefore want to urge people to be aware of potential fraud in the recruitment process and to be vigilant.
This scam is unfortunately widespread. We are aware of many other recruitment firms also being affected.
Scammers may exhibit certain warning signs, such as poor grammar and spelling, unusual or unofficial email addresses, or insisting on urgency or immediate action. Genuine offers from Frazer Jones will always be professional, clear and provide ample time for consideration.
We do sometimes communicate with candidates and clients using WhatsApp and LinkedIn InMail, and will often call our customers, but we will never:
- Ask for your bank details via text, WhatsApp or LinkedIn InMail
- Request payment via text, WhatsApp or LinkedIn InMail
- Request payment for our services via text, WhatsApp or LinkedIn InMail
- Demand personal information or copies of your identification documents via text, WhatsApp or LinkedIn InMail
A Frazer Jones consultant will never send you an unsolicited link via WhatsApp. If you receive a call or message via WhatsApp, text, email or LinkedIn InMail from someone you do not recognise, claiming to work for Frazer Jones , please check this is one of our consultants.
The people contacting you with these spam messages do not work for Frazer Jones . They have not obtained your information from Frazer Jones. Our data security has not been compromised.
