We are aware of some fraudulent recruitment scams being conducted by individuals or organisations claiming to represent various companies including Mott McDonald and KBR, which provide Dentons as a legal reference and point of contact . This type of fraud tends to occur through online services including bogus websites, social media accounts, online job boards or through unsolicited emails. The aim of the fraud is to obtain personal information or money. Company names and logos are used to try to convey authenticity.

If you have any concerns, see suspicious job adverts or receive suspicious communications that reference Dentons please email as at info@dentons.com. We recommend that you do not respond to such unsolicited offers of employment. If you believe you are the victim of any fraudulent activity, we advise you to contact your appropriate authorities.

Warning signs you need to watch out for:

• Documentation, adverts or emails containing spelling and grammatical errors
• Documentation that is poorly formatted
• Documentation, adverts or emails that are not written in English
• If an email has been sent from free web-based email accounts such as Yahoo, Gmail or Hotmail.com
• If the advert asks you to apply directly to an email address that appears to be a personal rather than official email address.
• If you have been asked to contact a mobile (cell) phone number rather than an office
• If you have received an offer of employment in an international location and requested to send money to cover visa or immigration costs
• If you have received an offer of employment and/or requested to confirm personal information such bank account details without a formal interview process
• Insistence on urgency including being able to relocate at short notice.
