Scam Job Opportunities

Hi everyone.
I would like to draw your attention on scam job opportunities out there and especially on the web.
I don’t know about you, but I realized scammers also use social networks to get into people’s lives. They send you a friend invitation appreciating your professional/education profile and relate it to a current job opportunity in a big organization.
The scam comes in when you are asked to send your resume (CV) and that you have to get a membership card and working agreement/contract from the organization you may work with.
Be vigilant not to send your passport number and any other personal data, not to mention money to receive the above mentioned membership card or any other document.
These scammers are present on popular social networking website we all use.
Be vigilant

Hi,
I too had a similar experience very recently. Pls don't accept any one as friends if his/her profile does not show the identity. In TIG, you have the option of checking one's project/group involvement, organizations supported etc., Check those first and accept friendship. We need to be alert as clever spammers will update that details too!

Thanks for sharing this Ndzulo - and I also just want to add that very rarely will employers contact individuals to apply for jobs. It's usually the other way around. And it would be very rare for an employer to recruit through a networking site - so if you are approached in this manner you should already be wary.

A TIG Member just pointed this scam job opportunity out to me:

The GLOBAL CORNERSTONE AGENCY USA, is looking for professionals in every works of life, to work for this organization in conflit and disaster areas like, Asia, Africa, USA and other parts of the world.
Please write an application and state the area of your professionalism directly to Human resources office for more informations.

Apparently they asked that the TIG Member send Visa Processing fees - please note, you should only ever pay visa processing fees directly to the consulate or embassy of the country you are traveling to!

Hi there! I was going through the site when I remember someone who sent me spam messages. And she particularly informed me she was able to get my email address through tigweb.org... right now there are millions of same spam messages that were being sent to me from time to time of different senders to the point that I was emailed by yahoo security already..
i still have the email save to my email acct until now
