Robert Walters would like to alert you to an impersonation scam involving individuals pretending to be Robert Walters employees. Some individuals have informed us that they received local or overseas WhatsApp texts or calls with the callers claiming to have potential job opportunities.
Voice phishing is a typical scammer’s tactic to trick unsuspecting individuals to reveal personal or confidential information over the phone.
Here at Robert Walters, we take such incidents seriously. Individuals should be careful with revealing personal and confidential information over the phone to unverified parties. We therefore ask that you exercise utmost caution and to verify the identity of the caller.
What You Should Do If You Receive Such Messages
To safeguard yourself, please be extra careful when you receive an unsolicited message or all other forms of communication asking you to provide confidential or personal information. Under no circumstances should you give personal information including full name to third parties SMS, WhatsApp or any other communication platforms unless you have verified the authenticity of such requests. Should you find the caller to be suspicious, please delete and block the caller on the WhatsApp platform.
