Adept
Ok so I had just updated my Resume on most Online Job portals yesterday & to my surprise I recived a SMS on my phone today morning at Sharp 9:00 am, which had following msg:

From:TD-HRDINFO*

Your Resume has been selected for a new plant.Your Offer lettar already attached by link ifile.it/5rbwk6t

I was like WTH such a fast response, visited the link & immediately caught the Scam, it was yet another Scamster asking for money for booking Air tickets for me which would be sent to me by courier etc & all BS that i will be refunded the amount.

Its a Fake Offer letter in name of Bajaj, see pic attached.

Guys be very aware from such offers, always remember no company asks for money for recruiting or tickets sent via courier.

I got similar letter with the company being maruti suzuki.
I just LOLed at first then noticed that the interview dates kept on postponing every week. Then i realised it was a scam.
Still those who buy what he says i feel for those noobs.
 
Unfortunately, there are many who could fall for scams like these. A doctor I know and met recently was very happy to have won a lottery in the uk for 800000 pounds, it was really sad to burst their bubble.

These sms's i keep getting are most probably a scam too. They are worded as

1. You have won a free LED TV. To claim your prize please sms your car number and full address. etc.

2. You and your spouse have won a free 1 week trip to someplace. To claim your free tickets please sms your full address and car number.

Most probably they rob the car and place after the fools who fall into their trap are enjoying their vacation.
 
Yes i too get that messages when they tell you to mention car model and all. I once replied with fake name and car model as Rolls Royce and they never called back or anything :p

Btw anyone tried dialing the number they provide on the fake recruitment letters ? Should call and blast them, not before making them believe that we believe them

--- Updated Post - Automerged ---

Also i had this one guy in my office, some MBA dude who got ripped by the phishing mail from ICICI, he clicked that link in mail, filled his real id and pass and BOOM.

Next he he lost some 20k+ amount. I think he got it later but still.

I too had once clicked the phishing link but filled "Ma$%#%$&" and "Bh$#%^7" in user id and password :p
 
^ True!! There are so many people who are prepared to do anything to get into a reputed company. They are the ones who will be falling for this trick. The email id's are a clear giveaway that these people are scammers.
 
there are more fake websites claiming to provide such fake informations, i think , every website should have a rating scale and any user can vote for it. Based on all positive/negative votes, the website should be shown Positive / Negative warning signs :)

It would be easy for new/other people to look the signs and avoid it.
