MUTUAL insurer Avbob has warned about a fake job advertisements doing the rounds on social media.

In a statement the burial service company said a syndicate purporting to be  AVBOB Mutual Assurance Society’s human resource department is making use of a Gmail account to “recruit” unaware South African citizens for jobs in return for a fee.

“Please note that this is a scam, AVBOB has not advertised such posts and the company would never request applicants to pay a fee for any job posts or competence tests. We are calling on all members of the social media community to refrain from sharing or referring anyone to these posts. AVBOB is investigating the matter and we will be taking the necessary steps to ensure that the perpetrators are apprehended,” they said in the statement.

AVBOB encourages all members of the community to be more vigilant when applying for jobs. Under no circumstances should people make payment for any vacancies claiming to be from AVBOB.
