The perpetrators will often ask recipients to complete bogus recruitment documentation, such as application forms, terms and conditions of employment or visa forms. The STRONGCO name and logo is sometimes featured on the documentation without authority.
There is an early request for personal information such as address details, date of birth, resume (CV), passport details, etc.
Candidates are requested to contact other companies/individuals such as lawyers, bank officials, travel agencies, courier companies, visa/immigration processing agencies, etc.
The perpetrators frequently use mobile or landline telephone numbers beginning with 44(0)70 instead of official company numbers.
The perpetrators may even offer to pay a large percentage of the fees requested and ask the candidate to pay the remaining amount.
There is an insistence on urgency.
