Job Seekers being exposed to potential identity theft
In the past couple of weeks, we have had job seekers applying for positions advertised, however, instead of attaching their resume, we have received the following items, which we have of course deleted and advised the candidates of the error;
- Bank Statements
- Immigration documents
- Telephone bills
- Utility bills
- Rates notice
- Rental agreements
People need to be very careful what attachments they send online, as if the wrong people receive them, then they could be opening themselves up to identity fraud.
Double check you have attached the right documents whenever sending any attachments online.
And of course, this will not help them get the job they have applied for.
