Your Safety is Our Priority. Beware of Fake Job Scams

Dear all,

We have observed a growing number of individuals impersonating Adecco employees or approaching others as scammers, soliciting participation in surveys or sign-ups for products and services, often in connection with fraudulent job opportunities.

These job scams involve unsolicited messages via WhatsApp, Telegram or the use of fake Adecco email extensions, requesting individuals to sign up for products or services or participate in brief surveys related to topics such as food delivery platforms, tourism, or events and festivals. Upon completion, participants may receive a small incentive, after which they are encouraged to engage in additional commission-based tasks that require the disclosure of sensitive personal information on fraudulent websites.

If you suspect that the Adecco job ad message you have received is suspicious, do contact your dedicated account servicing manager / consultant immediately or call us at +65 6835 3400.

 

Important: DO NOT provide your bank information, SingPass details and NRIC number to anyone you do not know or to unverified sources!

 

*Look out for the following red flags when you receive unsolicited task from unknown numbers or come across job advertisements online:

  • Easy jobs that offer lucrative commissions that are simply too good to be true
  • Unsolicited messages advertising job offers from unknown numbers or unknown foreign numbers
  • Requests to transfer funds to bank accounts belonging to individuals they had not met in person​​

 

*Always take the following precautionary steps:

  • Do not accept dubious job task that offer lucrative returns for minimal effort
  • Never download applications or click on website links from unverified sources
  • Never send money to anyone whom you do not know or have not met in person before

 

Remember, do not provide anyone your:

1. NRIC Number

2. Bank Account Number

3. SingPass details

4. One-Time Password
