Found yet another scammer on BestJobs today. I was graced this morning with this email from Rebels Personnel. Here is the email:
A very good day to you Stii Pretorius,
We have received your response to our advertisement, but now need you to please forward the following documents to us, via fax: 0866523502
ID document
CV
Reference letters (if you have)
Certificates (if applicable)Please try your best to forward these documents to our fax number as soon as possible.
We cannot process your application without these documents.Kind Regards
Liane
Pre-Screening
Recruitment Dept.
Rebels Personnel
As with Aggies Recruitment Services, it is sent from a domain called rebels.com which is co-incidentally the same name as the supposedly recruiter Rebels Personnel. If you visit rebels.com, you get to exactly the same free email account service as if you would visit aggies.com.
I’ve sent my post yesterday to Bestjobs, and to date heard nothing from them.

This happened to me today. Fortunately I found your website so they only have my CV (including ID number) with links to LinkdIn and MyGenius, with limited info. Changed my CV for future use so that it does not contain my physical address or ID

Fiks.

Well I have just been caught on the very scam mentioned above. I am so desparate for work and although i know not to leave my ID number on my cv,I was under the inpression that it all looked legit on the reply mail. Now these sleeze balls have my id and copy of certificates. What should i do. report it to the police station and open a case to protect myself. And against what. Oh deary me. I am battling so much already to feed my kids. I hope and prey they don’t like my name.

I just send my details to five of these scammers just seconds before I read the warning – what should I do

As mentioned by comment number 1. I to applied for a position on IOL yesterday at around 15h00. I immediately got the same reply from “Liane”
Luckly I am aware of the scams going on and thought it strange that their client wanted to meet me within 10 minutes of sending my mail no personnel agency is that fast. So beware they are on IOL as well.
Thank you for this you sure confirmed my suspitions.

As all the above have I been scamed by the same people. I only realised after I sent my CV with all my details to 1 fax number. I went to the Wierda Bridge Police station and reported the scam. Copies will also be distributed by the police to other police stations.

to all job seekers,
please check out the company or recruitment agency before sending CV’s and ID documentation. If they are ligit they should have a website with physical address you can visit including a landline.
i know it’s tough out there, but dont fall into these scammers traps.
good luck!

Hi guys,
Just got the email too. This time it was advertised on bestjobs as a company called Cougars recruitment. Luckily I googled them first and stumbled on this website. Thankfully no personal address or ID details are on my CV. Keep that info safe.
Kris 1:40 pm on August 28, 2009 Permalink |
Flip it hey…… I had four (4) emails from these bastards this morning. Luckily I had an interview somewhere else so only got back this afternoon. Thought I’d google the company before I fax my stuff (thought it was odd that there was no contact number).
Here are the company’s so far:
hr@rebels.com (got two from them so far today)
vacancy@mustangs.com
personnel@deacons.com
hrrecruiting@aggies.com
To check if the company is legit, google them or just reply…. I wanted to email my stuff rather than send it to a fax-to-email number.
Viv 7:02 pm on September 4, 2009 Permalink |
Got the same 2 from five companies.
However, my faxes did not go through as per the report.

Please becareful out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rob 11:08 am on October 14, 2009 Permalink |
Same happened to me. I applied for a position as an accounts manager and 6 companies replied (see list below). I found this a bit odd, as I sent my CV by e-mail to only one company (applications@national-champs.com). Fortunately my CV does not have my ID number on it.
These are the companies that responded….
1) jobnetresponse@gmail.com
2) directjobresponse@gmail.com
3) hr@rebels.com (Liane)
4) personnel@deacons.com
5) vacancy@mustangs.com
6) hrrecruiting@aggies.com (Lucinda)
All have the same format, asking for CV, photo, references, etc.
Thanks guys for this site. If I hadn’t looked up the relevant companies website, I could have been conned.
