Beware of "free jobs"

"Kaspersky Lab" revealed fraudulent scheme of sending messages with fake job offers, which are intended to make the careless user to subscribe to a paid newsletter. This fraud scheme is very simple and even quite rough, but people almost desperate, long in search of work, may be interested in a lucrative offer and lose vigilance.

The essence of the fraud is to ensure that, among other posts on various online job search services you receive a notice signed by the name of the famous portal, for example HeadHunter. It attackers tells him that his candidacy is supposedly interested in a large company, is ready to offer a good position and salary. No details of the letter, of course, were disclosed - for them the user is prompted to follow a link. Sooner or later, these links lead to a fake site service job search on the Internet. It should be noted that this site looks quite convincing: with a catalog of vacancies, employer lists, news, and articles. And here on this site attackers offer unsuspecting users to get free registration using your mobile phone. Only a very cautious user can determine that the bottom of the Web page to small unobtrusive typeface (sometimes matching the color of the background) prescribed detailed conditions of registration, according to which "service provider" has the right to withdraw money from the account of a mobile phone by sending messages for regular job list.

The details of the fraudulent scheme and for more information about the traps that attackers are arranged in the way of job seekers on the Internet, reads the article by the content expert of Kaspersky Lab Nadezhda Demidova.

"Attackers often use social engineering techniques, which aims primarily to unsuspecting or inexperienced users. We discover this fraudulent scheme, which proves that care when working on the Internet is always important," says Nadezhda Demidova.
