Recruitment fraud\ Be wary of internet, email and phone scams where fraudsters pretend to represent prominent companies. Unsolicited communications, and requests for payment or personal information (eg National Insurance number, bank details) are not part of the application process and you should not respond - check with the company or refer to the police.
