SCAM ALERT!

It has come to our attention that there is a scam going around whereby someone is pretending to be a recruitment agency, sending WhatsApp or Telegram messages offering a “flexible” job. Lately, the job scams are becoming ubiquitous, and we would like to alert everyone. After some back-and-forth engagement, we assume the scammers obtain some financial information to extract money. We have reported to Scamwatch and the AFP. Scamwatch provides additional information about how these scams work at Jobs & employment scams | Scamwatch.

Some of these scams have mentioned Konnecting.

SCAM ALERT!

A Nigerian company is issuing visas under the name "Konnecting." There is an emerging scam where a Nigerian company is falsely representing itself as “Konnecting” and offering visa services. Please be aware that this incident is a deceptive scheme aimed at exploiting individuals seeking legitimate migration and recruitment assistance. The scammers may request personal information, fees, or engage in other dishonest practices.

We have reported to Scamwatch and the Australian Border Force. Scamwatch provides more information about how these scams work at Jobs & employment scams | Scamwatch.

SCAM ALERT!

New Entry: Facebook Impersonation (Konnecting On Bangladesh)

Platform: Facebook

Page Name: Konnecting On Bangladesh

Red Flags:

• Incorrect Category: The page is incorrectly listed as a "Musician/band", which is a common tactic for scammers to bypass certain business verification filters.

• Misspelled Title: The use of "Konnecting On Bangladesh" rather than official regional naming conventions.

• Unauthorised Use of Branding: This page uses the official Konnecting logo and banner without authorisation to mislead skilled professionals.

​

If you receive one of these messages, please report it to:

• Scamwatch: Report a scam | Scamwatch

• AFP/Cybercrime: ReportCyber | Cyber.gov.au

• Contact us: So we can gather more evidence to supply to authorities. Please obtain as much information as possible.

We are doing everything we can to stop this, but scams and hacking are becoming more common. Victims of cybercrime can report to police using Report Cyber at Cyber.gov.au.

Konnecting will never ask for your bank details and never ask you to pay any recruitment fee for a job.

Stay cyber safe, everyone.
