Fraud Prevention

Fraud Management Policy

At ALEC Holdings, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and professionalism in every interaction, including Talent Acquisition. Unfortunately, like many well-known companies, we have become aware of individuals and organisations fraudulently using our name and branding to carry out recruitment scams.

We want to ensure that prospective candidates are protected. Please read the information below to understand how to identify and avoid recruitment fraud.

What is Recruitment Scam?

Recruitment scams involve unauthorised individuals posing as ALEC Holdings representatives or falsely claiming to work with or for us to deceive job seekers. These scams may include fraudulent job offers or interview invitations, typically in exchange for money, personal information, or other forms of exploitation.

Such scams are usually conducted via:

·     Email

·     Social media platforms

·     Messaging apps (e.g., WhatsApp, Telegram)

·     Fake websites mimicking ALEC Holdings

·     Phone calls or SMS messages

Here are common signs that you may be dealing with a recruitment scam
