Posting a profile in Indian jobsites is no longer a safe play. About 12 cases of online frauds in jobsites have already been picked up by the private investigators in the Gujarat capital. These cunning fraudsters are trapping young people who are on the look-out for a job. These imposters are tempting the unemployed brigade by calling them for interviews for a company that offers them fat salary and a brand name. This is the second time the IT Examiner has reported an online fraud in the city of Ahmedabad.
Contacting the Ahmedabad based cyber crime expert, Sunny Vaghela, revealed some important facts. Vaghela said the jobsites are to be blamed for these frauds as they show a lackadaisical attitude by selling the databases without verifying buyers’ profile. And as a result, these swindlers can easily get access to the profiles of the job-seekers. He further said the imposters send these interview mails under the header of big IT companies and also promise to reimburse the air-fares to the job-seekers on appearing for the interviews. Vaghela has also revealed the name of an Indian jobsite, timesjobs.com and has evidences where it clearly shows that the mail was sent under the header of an Indian IT major, HCL.
Asking the aspirants to be more watchful, Vaghela pointed out one cannot suspect the mails as these are generated from an “authentic” email Id. Though, these mails are not authorized or official email. But most of the times, the mails are generated from other email providers. The job-seekers, however, ignore the fact that such mails are generated from job websites and not by the company itself.
As India has its IT heart in places like Bangalore and Hyderabad, these cities have almost all the big IT companies with huge openings. It becomes easier for any swindler to call people to these couple of IT hubs for interviews.
