These job scams also try to get job seekers to provide sensitive personal information, financial information, or payment to the scammer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What job scams look like<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>WhatsApp, Telegram or other social media platform messages from unknown numbers claiming to be somebody working for Aquent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fake job postings on Facebook or Linkedin job groups and other social media platforms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Emails from private\/personal email addresses with a vague opportunity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to avoid job scams<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Be wary of job postings that only include a few brief requirements. Legitimate jobs normally list extensive qualifications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don't provide sensitive information such as bank details or pictures of your passport\/driving licence until you're certain the offer is legitimate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Many scams are related to work-from-home jobs. Since Aquent offers many legitimate remote opportunities, the best way to find them is by visiting our website\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www-beta.aquent.io\/en-nl\/find-work\">www-beta.aquent.io\/en-nl\/find-work\/<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scammers often use email addresses with free email services such as Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail. Our Aquent recruiters will only email job seekers from an @www-beta.aquent.io email address.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recent scams we've seen use international phone numbers <em>(e.g. starting +27 \u2013 from South Africa)<\/em>. If you're unsure about the authenticity of a text or WhatsApp message and the area code is unfamiliar this could be a scam.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aquent agents rarely operate via WhatsApp or Telegram, and are most likely to reach out via Linkedin InMail, email from an @www-beta.aquent.io address, or call you directly about an opportunity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to report scam messages<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you have received an email which you're not quite sure about, or you see a suspicious ad in a paid-for space, the best thing you can do is contact the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fraudehelpdesk.nl\/fraudhelpdesk-the-dutch-national-anti-fraud-hotline\/\">Dutch Fraud Help Desk.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you provided your bank account information to a scammer, you should also contact your financial institution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For more information please see: <a href=\"https:\/\/business.gov.nl\/regulation\/fraud-deception\/\">Netherlands Government website: Preventing &amp; Reporting fraud &amp; deception<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you think you may have been a victim of fraud or cyber crime, please fill out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fraudehelpdesk.nl\/fraudhelpdesk-the-dutch-national-anti-fraud-hotline\/\">Dutch Fraud Help Desk<\/a> report form, or call 088 \u2013 7867372. If you are calling from outside the Netherlands, call +31 \u2013 88 \u2013 7867372.<\/h5>\n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section><!-- #block_78e51910db83f30a7c7200a2f7cd6112 -->\n\n\n\n<p
