Some people have received what appeared to be genuine offers of employment from ABB via e-mail but which turned out to be fraudulent.
"Phishing", as this type of fraud is known, is an e-mail scam targeting many businesses worldwide. The senders are generally trying to obtain personal and/or bank information. They may also be trying to extract money for processing job applications or costs related to "work permits" or "visa working papers".
In other cases, candidates have been asked for payment to secure interviews or guarantee a job.
These e-mails can look authentic, with a company logo or convincing personal details taken from social networking pages. However, these e-mails have no connection with ABB, nor do we use these methods as part of the recruitment process.
