Fake Mailers Target HCL Job Aspirants

After the recent fraudulent recruitment mailers offering jobs at Wipro Technologies through a job portal, similar mails are being sent to job-seekers promising to send interview calls from HCL Technologies against refundable deposits.

The mail carries "HCL Direct Recruitments Offer" in the subject line and mentions openings in the company s upcoming projects in Pune and Delhi in the IT and electronics manufacturing segment.

The email reads: "The company has selected 32 candidates for IT, administration and production departments, as well as is offering you to join as an executive/manager post in respective department."

The email asks interested employees to make initial cash deposit Rs. 5,250 in favor of the HRD Department through any branch of Punjab National Bank to the company's Senior HRD. After doing so, the individual will receive an offer letter with air tickets for the final interview at HCL headquarters in Noida on Aug. 24.

Meanwhile, HCL has vehemently refuted these mails saying it strongly condemns such mails which are aimed at cheating innocent job aspirants, misleading them into giving money with the promise of providing jobs.

Ravi Shankar B, senior vice president and HR head-India operations, HCL, said, "Such activities also tarnish the company's image, even though the organization has no role to play in the crime". He added HCL has taken the matter seriously and is working with the police authorities to curb such malpractices.
