How to identify Recruitment fraud?
1. The perpetrators will often ask recipients to complete bogus recruitment documentation, such as application forms, terms and conditions of employment or visa forms. The GE Aerospace name and logo is often featured on the documentation without authority.
2. There is an early request for personal information such as address details, date of birth, CV, passport details, bank details, etc.
3. Candidates are requested to contact other companies/individuals such as lawyers, bank officials, travel agencies, courier companies, visa/immigration processing agencies, etc.
4. E-mail correspondence is often sent from (or to) free web-based e-mail accounts such as Yahoo.com, Yahoo.co.uk, Gmail.com, Googlemail.com, Live.com, etc.
5. Email correspondence appears to be sent from an officer or senior executive of the Company, often in Legal or Human Resources. If the email address doesn’t end with “@ge.com" it most likely is not legitimate.
6. The perpetrators frequently use mobile or platform telephone numbers beginning with +44(0)70 instead of official company numbers.
7. The perpetrators may even offer to pay a large percentage of the fees requested and ask the candidate to pay the remaining amount.
8. There is an insistence on urgency.
