Impersonating SEEK recruiters to offer fake jobs, attached with fake business cards and job descriptions

Summary: Scammers impersonate SEEK recruiters and send text messages offering fake jobs. They attach fake business cards and job descriptions to make the messages look legitimate.

Tactic used: Brand impersonation. Scammers imitate SEEK’s brand by using the SEEK logo and colour scheme, along with fake details of the recruiter and job to appear convincing.

Top recommendation: Verify if the message is legitimate before you respond. SEEK will never contact you with job offers through text messages, WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, or similar platforms. Contact SEEK directly to confirm the recruiter’s identity or the legitimacy of a job.
