The Hindu Business Line : Wipro warns job seekers against bogus e-mails

BANGALORE: Do not get too tempted if you have interview calls from software major Wipro Technologies in your inbox as the emails are fake and the company has warned against falling prey to such bogus mail.

Wipro Vice-president, Talent Acquisition, Mr Pradeep Bahirwani said that company had come across such fraudulent letters earlier as well “but this time we have come across e-mails that carry the company logo and its letterhead”.

The letters signed by one Narayan Murli ask aspirants to deposit a “refundable” security deposit of Rs 4,670 in a particular account number as payment towards the interview and offers attractive salaries in the range of Rs 15,000 to Rs 65,000 a month, he said.

The e-mails had been sent out to job aspirants registered in different job portals informing that they had been shortlisted for interviews for various vacancies ranging from software programme.

“We are not sure how many such letters have been issued, but we wish to warn aspirants not to fall prey to it.” These letters, he said, were replete with spelling mistakes and erroneous language and originated from some public domain and not from the co mpany's domain.

“Moreover the letters state that the office is located in Noida and the interview is scheduled there. In fact, we do not have an office in Noida”, he said. - PTI
