How to identify Recruitment fraud The perpetrators will often ask recipients to complete bogus recruitment documentation, such as application forms, terms and conditions of employment or visa forms. The Wates name and logo is often featured on the documentation without authority. There is an early request for personal information such as address details, date of birth, CV, passport details, bank details etc. Candidates are requested to contact other companies/individuals such as lawyers, bank officials, travel agencies, courier companies, visa/immigration processing agencies etc. E-mail correspondence is often sent from (or to) free web-based e-mail accounts such as Yahoo.com, Yahoo.co.uk, Gmail.com, Googlemail.com, Live.com etc. The perpetrators frequently use mobile or platform telephone numbers beginning with +44(0)70 instead of official company numbers which can be checked on our website under contact us.
