We have observed some misleading communication on various portals, fraud emails about TCS hiring processes, and issues of candidates facing spoofing.
This is to notify you that TCS does not ask for any sort of payment or security deposit from candidates at any stage of the recruitment process. The firm never sends out job offers from free internet email services like Gmail, Rediff Mail, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail, and so on. TCS bears no responsibility for the amount deposited by any candidate/individual in response to scammers and frauds.
As a vigilant job seeker, keep your eyes open and protect your interests!
Imposter job, internship, or training offers can be quite tough to identify unless you remain informed about the common ways scammers use to exploit the interest of job seekers.
Many fraudulent recruitment agencies claim to help job seekers find employment, provide training, offer internships, or promise interviews by charging exorbitant fees for their services. Such agencies do not have any real opportunities and are only interested in collecting fees from unsuspecting job seekers.
Scammers create fake social media profiles to advertise job openings, internship offers, and training opportunities to appear legitimate. Often, they impersonate TCS and use the reference of real employees to lend credibility to their scams.
Many reputable portals consist of legitimate and fraudulent employment opportunities that could be complex to differentiate for a job seeker. Since a candidate already has an established trust in the job portal, scammers post fake openings to gain money.
Quite commonly, scammers propose online tests claiming to offer high-paying positions in TCS. Nevertheless, they might end up stealing your identity by selling your personal information and tricking you into paying numerous sorts of charges.
Many scheming emails might land up in your inbox offering employment opportunities. The purpose of this type of email is to deceive individuals into divulging personal information by posing as a legitimate entity.
Scammers often offer fake jobs and interview at TCS, promise to provide training, or falsely claim your selection through unsolicited messages on messaging applications like SMS, WhatsApp, or Telegram to deceive job seekers.
Such fake offers are often followed by registration forms/admit cards, interview calls, appointment letters, and official-looking email IDs that might appear legitimate to candidates but unfortunately could be a trap.
