TIPS TO STAY SAFE & SECURE ONLINE

PageGroup Security Advice

Beware of phishing and malware scams targeting job seekers

We are aware of a global phishing campaign where our employees are being impersonated. Scammers are using publicly available information to impersonate our consultants and forge job offer emails. These may contain attachments or links that can potentially install harmful malware or compromise personal information. We can assure you that PageGroup's infrastructure and data has not experienced any compromise or breach and remains secure.

We are working with law enforcement and other relevant parties to investigate and mitigate this fraudulent activity.

If you receive any unsolicited job offers or suspect any fraudulent activity related to PageGroup, we encourage you to take the following steps:

1. Do not interact with or open any attachments or links within the suspicious email.
2. Report the incident by forwarding the email, along with any relevant information, to [email protected].
3. Delete the email from your inbox and empty your trash or recycle bin.

Beware of instant messaging scams targeting job seekers

We are aware that scammers are using publicly available information to impersonate our consultants and forge job offers via Telegram, WhatsApp and Microsoft Teams.

We can assure you that PageGroup's infrastructure and data have not experienced any compromise or breach and remains secure.

If you receive a message on Telegram, WhatsApp or Microsoft Teams, we recommend that you block and report these contacts using the reporting options available in most online messaging platforms.

 

Beware of Fake Job Offers on Job Portals

We have recently learned of individuals impersonating PageGroup brands and posting fake job offers on various job portals. These imposters are trying to trick job seekers into paying fees, providing personal information, or performing unpaid work. These are not legitimate job offers from our company and we strongly advise you to avoid them.

If you encounter a suspicious job offer that claims to be from our company, please follow these steps to protect yourself:

• Verify the source of the job offer. Our job offers are always published on our official corporate websites.

• Do not pay any fees or provide any sensitive information. We never ask our candidates to pay any fees or provide any personal or financial information, such as bank account numbers or passwords. If someone asks you to do so, it is a clear sign of a scam. Do not respond to such requests and report them to the authorities.

We value our reputation and our relationship with our candidates. We are taking legal action against anyone who fraudulently impersonates our brands and we appreciate your cooperation in reporting any suspicious job offers to us. Please contact us at [email protected].

E-mail authenticity validations

We value your trust and security, and we want to make sure you receive only authentic e-mail messages from us. That’s why we use DMARC, a technology that helps protect against spoofing and phishing by verifying the sender of an e-mail message.

If you are ever in any doubt about the authenticity of a message you have received from someone purporting to work for PageGroup and/or one of our brands, do not reply to it. Instead, use the web contact forms on our websites or email [email protected] to bring it to our attention.
