Bangalore, July 02: Do not get too tempted if you
have interview calls from software major Wipro Technologies in
your inbox as the emails are fake and the company has warned
against falling prey to such bogus mail.
Wipro Vice-president, Talent Acquisition, Pradeep
Bahirwani told agencies that company had come across such fraudulent letters earlier as well "but this time we have come across
e-mails that carry the company logo and its letterhead".
The letters signed by one Narayan Murli ask aspirants to
deposit a "refundable" security deposit of Rs 4,670 in a
particular account number as payment towards the interview and
offers attractive salaries in the range of Rs 15,000 to Rs
65,000 a month, he said.
The e-mails had been sent out to job aspirants registered
in different job portals informing that they had been
shortlisted for interviews for various vacancies ranging from
software programme.
"We are not sure how many such letters have been issued,
but we wish to warn aspirants not to fall prey to it."
These letters, he said, were replete with spelling
mistakes and erroneous language and originated from some
public domain and not from the company's domain.
"Moreover the letters state that the office is located
in Noida and the interview is scheduled there. In fact, we do
not have an office in Noida", he said.
