Beware! A new way of Fraud to entangle Corporate Employees

This is a new way in which the fraudster pretend to be the HR department of a famous company, they call you for a face to face interview and ask you to pay travel and hotel expenses in advance and that they would reimburse that money on your arrival. Upon payment, they disappear.

A friend of mine received following email:


“From: Career Department - Total Oil and Gas <job@hr-total.eu.tf>
Date: Mon, Nov 25, 2013 at 2:43 AM
Subject: RE: Application for Senior Project Manager from Ahmed Bilal
