Refiner NRL Issues “Fake Website With Fake Vacancies” Warning to Job Seekers
Numaligarh Refinery Ltd. (NRL), the largest PSU refiner in India, claimed on Monday that a bogus website bearing its name had been established to solicit money from job applicants in exchange for false promises of employment.
According to a statement from NRL General Manager (Corporate Communication) Madhuchanda Adhikari, the company has already reported a crime to the National Cyber Crime Reporting portal and filed a FIR with the local police station.
“Untrustworthy individuals have imitated NRL’s legitimate Corporate Website www.nrl.co.in to establish a fake website with the domain www.nrlindia.in of Numaligarh Refinery Limited in order to steal money from unwary applicants for false positions posted under the Career section,” she continued.
According to Ms. Adhikari, the company urged everyone to exercise caution and refrain from sending money to the phoney website in exchange for unfilled employment.
“On the Main Menu of the Home page of the bogus website, there is a link labelled “Career.” When one clicks the link, they are directed to a page with 3,235 false job openings collecting applicant information and referring them to a page for making a $1,000 online transfer for their application “added she.
