CCBSA warns public of recruitment scam

Coca-Cola Beverages South Africa (CCBSA) warns Limpopo citizens of a recent recruitment scam where fraudsters request a sum of money in exchange for jobs.
It was reported that the company was made aware that individuals claiming to be representatives of the company are conveying fraudulent offers of employment in exchange for payment. The offers come from unauthorised individuals fraudulently recruiting on CCBSA’s behalf or claiming to work for or be associated with the company, the statement read.
These activities are not authorised by nor linked in any way to CCBSA or any of its entities and such activities must therefore be regarded as criminal and unlawful and should be reported accordingly, it was reported. The company went on to say: “It must be emphasised that neither CCBSA nor any of its entities would ever ask for upfront fees or payment before, during and/or after the recruitment process. Job seekers are advised not to be attracted or lured by any communication which solicits payment.”
CCBSA is currently investigating all the claims received in this regard and assures the public that they will work with relevant authorities to bring perpetrators to book. Residents are further urged to contact CCBSA on 0800 005 174 to confirm whether the offer is legitimate if they are in doubt or suspicious about offers of employment they have received.
