reportabuse@naukri.com. Educate yourself against Fraud/Scams We encourage you to read the following and make yourself aware of the warning signs of the most common kinds of Internet and Email frauds. There are two types of email scams – 'phishing' and 'spoofing'. In both the cases, the 'from address' is forged to make it appear as if it came from a source that it actually did not come from. What is Phishing? Phishing is an attempt by fraudsters to 'fish' for your personal details. A phishing attempt is usually in the form of an e-mail, which encourages you to click a link that takes you to a fraudulent log-on page designed to capture your account/password/personal details. These emails can also be used to lure the recipient into downloading harmful software. Please note that Naukri.com will never ask you to download software in order to access your account. More information about Phishing scams and how you can protect yourself against them is available here http://www.antiphishing.org/consumer_recs.html What is Spoofing? Spoof emails usually include a fraudulent offer of employment and/or an invitation to perform a monetary transaction. Such email scams are, unfortunately, common across the world and could target anyone - including unsuspecting jobseekers who have registered with Naukri.com. The sender's address is often disguised and/or the sender may not have provided the entire contact information, such as, the correct physical address, phone numbers and email ID. The precautionary measures jobseekers could take to protect themselves against suspected spoof emails have been mentioned above. How can you check if an employer or a recruiter is a fraud or genuine? Below are a few things we can suggest you could try (you are encouraged to exhaust all possible ways, not just be limited to the following) to ascertain the legitimacy of the employers who contact you:
