SCAM ALERT!!! - JOB SEEKERS NOTE

SCAMMER EMAIL IS FROM: [email protected]

HOW TO KNOW IT IS A SCAM!

1. Personally, as a Recruiter myself, I did NOT apply for this post
2. How did I get the job - without a phone call / interview / or any contact from ZA Staffing Solutions?(never knew of them)
3. IT IS ILLEGAL TO ASK AN APPLICANT IN SOUTH AFRICA FOR MONEY IN ORDER TO ASSIST WITH A JOB?E.G. Background checks, Credit and ID checks???? - (And still have not met the "new" employer or anyone at the agency)
4. There is NO LETTER OF OFFER.
5. There are NO DUTIES LISTED.
6. Company name is "(name withheld due to our policy)"?So logically: you are going to work for a company you have never met, who they cannot disclose to you, but you are hired??? HUH.

So many more RED flags here, please TAKE NOTE of them and DO NOT RESPOND TO THESE MAILS.

THE EMAIL STATES THE FOLLOWING:

"Good morning,

We received your application in regards to the Customer Service Vacancy and we would like to inform you that your application has been approved via ZA Staffing Solutions.

This full time position is available within a private computing institution (name withheld due to our policy) & you will receive a monthly salary of R9620 plus some benefits and bonuses working under our recruitment program.

However, before we finalize the entire application process, the employers require a full & recent (not older than one month) Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) & background check certificate / report as this is now compulsory prior to the final job offer.

A DBS & background check certificate is an official record stating a person's criminal convictions and more.

This helps to ensure that employers are making the right decisions during this recruitment process.

Kindly note that as an agency, we do not provide this service as we're only entitled to do employment history & reference checks.

There're a number of companies providing the above mentioned service but we would recommend Check Masters South Africa to assist you as they have proven to be loyal, fast, professionals and reliable.

If you want them to assist you, please send an email to:

[email protected]or?[email protected]requesting full information regarding the DBS & background check process.

Kindly note that a service fee for the above mentioned process applies and according to our T&Cs, the fee has to be covered by you (The applicant) and cannot be deducted from any of your salaries whatsoever.

Once we receive your DBS & background check certificate / outcome report, we will then finalize the entire application process and you will be joining the company within this month of April 2023.

Alternatively if you already have one, please email the DBS & background check certificate / report to:?[email protected]on or before Thursday 13th April 2023.

We deeply apologize if it's a short notice as this came from your employers.

Certificate should include:

1. Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS)

2. Criminal Records Checks

3. ID / Passport Verifications

4. Qualifications Verifications

5. Anti - Fraud

6. Pre - employment Polygraph ( Not Required)

N.B: Only a police clearance does not work as proof of your full background checks for employment purposes as it does not cover all the above.

ANY OTHER INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR NEW ROLE WILL BE PROVIDED AFTER RECEIVING YOUR DBS / BACKGROUND CHECK AND PROFILE SCREENING REPORT / CERTIFICATE.

KINDLY NOTE THAT THIS IS A GUARANTEED PLACEMENT FOR APRIL 2023 AND YOU HAVE TO BE AVAILABLE TO START WITH THE EMPLOYMENT.

Congratulations and we look forward to having you as an employee.

Thank you and please stay safe!
