A spurt in job frauds has led cybercrime police to request job portals to carry a disclaimer, warning people about frauds on their homepage.
"Fraudsters extract contact details of jobseekers from portals. They ‘offer’ jobs to people, claiming to be from MNCs. Now the portals display a disclaimer at the bottom of their homepage, warning people about such frauds," said Raghu Vir, additional DCP, cybercrime, Hyderabad.
Every month, at least five cases of job frauds get registered and cops have managed to solve nearly 50% of them.
"Most offenders have been traced to Delhi, Noida and some from Bangalore. Several Nigerians, too, are involved. These fraudsters rent a small place and hire a few people who go through the job portals. Later they send fake emails to see how many responses they get," said S Harinath, ACP, cybercrime, Rachakonda. "Youngsters are approaching us on Facebook to verify authenticity of companies that offer them jobs. We give them suggestions," said DCP Raghu Vir.
