Fraudsters, under the pretext of employment, collect personal data of applicants, which they can then use for fraud. A reader of the newspaper “Work for You” shared his story.
Our reader, Vyacheslav, is a driver by profession. A week ago, he found an ad from a major well-known company, whose office is located in the center of Moscow.
This company just invited drivers to work to transport goods from warehouses to stores. The conditions were simply wonderful: employment under the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, daily salary payments, flexible hours (hours of work can be chosen). But when Vyacheslav arrived for an interview, he was unpleasantly surprised - instead of a presentable office, he saw an uncleaned room with old furniture.
The girl was met by the applicant, introduced herself as Marina, and immediately began to ask Vyacheslav in detail: who he was, where he came from, whether there were problems with the law, whether he took loans and paid all debts? The man was surprised at the question of loans - this clearly had nothing to do with future work, but nevertheless answered him. Then Vyacheslav had to fill out a detailed questionnaire on three pages and indicate his income level over the past five years. At the end of the interview, Marina took copies of his passport, pension insurance certificate, driver’s license and employment record. The girl promised to call the next day to already invite Vyacheslav to go to work. But neither the next day, nor two days later there was a call.
From the very beginning, the man did not like this situation, but then he was already seriously worried - he found the company’s website and called the telephone number indicated there. The employee’s response did not surprise him anymore: the company did not have and did not have an office address Vyacheslav named. Later, the man called our editorial office and asked: “Tell me, do I understand correctly that I went to an interview with scammers?” If you want to apply for a good company, you shold have a good resume, you can you information in my profile https://www.viki.com/users/jadakiss_0_348/about.

Vyacheslav’s assumption is most likely true: the company where he went for an interview has nothing to do with the well-known brand, under the sign of which he published a job announcement. He got to the swindlers. Unfortunately, there are more and more such fake companies in the labor market. Fraudsters, under the guise of a well-known name, under the pretext of employment, collect personal data of applicants, which they can then use for all kinds of illegal fraud.
In the name of unsuspecting people, they can take loans from banks or, using the same false documents, transfer a person's pension savings to some non-state pension fund, and such funds pay agent fees for each attracted depositor. But you never know ... Scammers are constantly improving deception schemes.
Therefore, before you go for an interview, carefully collect information about the employer on the Web. Now almost all companies have websites on the Internet - it is not difficult to verify addresses and phone numbers. Better yet, call the office and ask if the company really recruits such and such employees.
The second point is if at the interview you don’t like something at once (the office looks suspicious, the employees behave strangely and ask a lot of unnecessary questions), do not dutifully do what they say to you, but turn off the conversation and leave.
And even more so, do not just take copies of your documents. In decent companies, they do this immediately before signing an employment contract.
