urShadow's Blog: Beware of Fraud/Scam Email from Developed Knowledge For Recruitment

Today I received the following email, I have never registered to any such recruitment website thus it made me suspicious, upon investigating their website it clearly looked fake. The intention must be to gather people’s personal data and then to use it for Fraud like you might get a fake job offer where you would have to deposit some processing fee to get that job or your email address/phone number will be shared with spammers/scammers.

If you receive the following or similar email then plz delete it right away without clicking on any links.

Experience of a Reader:

Sally-Anne Bolton: Oh my hubby applied for a job in Dubai and last week a recruitment agency sent him a "contract" without even a phone interview. Of course he needed to pay for the "visa expenses" lol. Horrible people, of course we knew it was a scam but just for a moment when he saw the job offer title of the email he was so excited at finding a job. The authorities have to hunt these people down.When I looked up the hospital website it actually has a page warning people about this so it must happen quite often.
