Job Fraud Disclaimer
We have recently been made aware that certain individuals are falsely presenting themselves as our employees, affiliates agents, or representatives. These individuals may claim to offer you fictitious employment opportunities with our company, in order to gain access to your personal information, or to acquire money or other valuables from you.
These “agents” are swindlers and frauds. We do not and will not initiate “recruitment” on Facebook groups, WhatsApp or Telegram. We do not and cannot “optimize traffic” on any web website with the simple click of a button. We NEVER ask our employees to deposit money into the company bank account to “earn commission”.
