Recently, we warned you to be aware of fraudsters using naukri.com. Now, we are describing you how fraudsters pose as Hyundai Motors and dupe candidates. The emails and screenshots shown here are real ones that the author obtained after responding to the fraudster’s email.
Here are some screenshots of the interview call letter that I got:
After sending them my mobile number and address, they sent me this e mail:

Their method is to lure candidates by promising them flight tickets and accomodation. But before attending the interview, they ask the candidates to pay up a ‘security fees’, which is refundable. The money has to be transferred to their bank account. But once you pay up, there will be no more response from them. You may also check – Tips to select the ideal career.
So friends, beware of this scam. Many people get this e mail and some fall prey to it. These e mails have nothing to do with Hyundai Motors. Hyundai themselves have warned people about this scam on their site! So, don’t fall prey to this scam.

The best way to recognize fake mails is the quality of language these fraudsters write. Usually they make grammatical errors and use wrong words at different places. And they will write things we have never asked for, to convince us.
