Major businesses in the UAE have issued a warning about the risks of scammers impersonating companies to defraud job seekers.
Many job seekers around the world have been exposed to fraudulent job emails, prompting major brands such as Emirates Airline, Etihad Airways and Al Futtaim Group to issue warnings.
Al Futtaim Group is a company with more than 35 employees spanning retail, finance, real estate and healthcare.We must recognize that members of the public may receive emails containing fraudulent employment opportunities.
Fraudulent emails often provide false job postings, requesting personal information or payment processing job applications, or payment processing visas.However, Al Futtaim Group will not ask job seekers for payment.
David Mackenzie, group managing director of Mackenzie Jones recruitment agency in Dubai, said if a job sounds too good to be true, it's probably a scam.
Here’s another way of putting it: Suppose you received an offer that said the salary of a human resources manager was AED 5, then you might realize that this is most likely false.In fact, this salary level may be well below the average salary for this position.Therefore, we should know what the average salary is for the position we are looking for in order to better evaluate the authenticity of the offer.
Etihad Airways has also issued a similar notice to job seekers applying for jobs with the airline.
We will not ask you to pay any fees at any stage of the recruitment process.We will contact you via an email address ending in "@etihad.ae".
In 2021, 90 Indian nurses were scammed by the UAE health department.They were promised non-existent jobs and a monthly salary of Dh4500, resulting in job seekers losing tens of thousands of dirhams.
The nurses paid up to Dh1 in agency fees to start new careers in the UAE, only to find out they had been defrauded.Fortunately, UAE private healthcare provider VPS stepped in and offered a job to every nurse in 10 hospitals across the country.
