Fraud Awareness

Know the signs. Verify the source. Stay protected.

Fraudsters may imitate company names, recruiters, websites and offer letters to appear credible. If you receive a job, interview, vendor, payment or partnership communication claiming to be from Indus Net Technologies Limited (INT.), verify it independently before taking action.

First principles

A genuine process should be professional, transparent and easy to verify.

Use these principles as your baseline whenever somebody claims to represent INT. in recruitment or business communication.

No payment to get hired

INT. does not charge candidates to apply, interview, receive an offer or secure employment.

Credible evaluation

Be cautious of guaranteed selection, instant offers or unusually high compensation without a credible hiring process.

Independent verification

Do not verify using only the phone number or link sent by the suspicious sender. Go directly to intglobal.com.

Protect sensitive data

Never share OTPs, passwords, card PINs, banking credentials or remote-access codes during recruitment.

Spot the difference

One character can make a fake website look real.

Lookalike domains are designed to be read quickly. Always inspect the complete domain name before clicking, replying or entering information.

Illustrative example — lookalike domain

indusnet.co.in
lndusnet.co.in

Why this works: a lowercase “l” can look like “i” in some fonts. Fraudsters rely on people reading quickly.

Illustrative example — deceptive URL

intglobal.com.jobs-verification.example.com
1The URL contains “intglobal.com”, so it may look familiar.
2The actual registered domain in this illustration is example.com, not INT.
3Read the complete domain — not only the first familiar words.
All suspicious domains, messages and payment examples on this page are illustrative and are shown only to explain common fraud techniques.

Common fraud scenarios

These are the kinds of scams candidates may encounter.

Fraud often looks ordinary at first. The warning sign is usually hidden in the payment request, communication channel, URL, urgency or request for sensitive information.

Lookalike domain

Extra letters, missing letters or hyphens

A fake domain may differ from a legitimate one by only a single character.

Examples: indusnett.co.in, indus-net.co.in, or another similar-looking variation.
Fake recruiter

Copied identity on WhatsApp or LinkedIn

A fraudster may reuse an employee photo, company logo and job title to appear credible.

A professional profile photo and designation are not proof of identity.
Offer-letter scam

Branded PDF plus a “refundable” fee

Fake offer letters can contain logos, signatures, salary details and joining dates.

Red flag: “Pay ₹4,500 as a refundable security deposit to activate your offer.”
Interview fee

Payment to confirm an interview slot

Scammers may disguise the payment as registration, scheduling or document processing.

Red flag: “Pay ₹1,999 today to reserve your interview slot.”
Equipment scam

Fake laptop or work-from-home purchase

A fake recruiter may direct you to an “approved vendor” and promise reimbursement later.

Do not transfer money to a vendor introduced only through an unverified recruiter.
OTP / KYC scam

“Verification” used to collect credentials

Fraudsters may request OTPs, banking passwords, card details or remote-access codes.

No legitimate hiring step requires you to disclose authentication secrets.
Malicious software

Unknown interview app or APK

You may be asked to install an unfamiliar app, extension or remote-access tool for an “interview”.

Install software only from trusted sources after independently verifying why it is required.
QR / UPI scam

“Scan to receive” that actually requests payment

A QR code may be presented as a way to receive a refund, bonus or verification amount.

Read exactly what your banking or wallet app says before authorising anything.
Guaranteed placement

Third party promises an INT. job for money

A consultant or “internal contact” may claim they can bypass the normal process for a fee.

No payment to a third party should be treated as proof of a genuine INT. opportunity.

Anatomy of a scam

A suspicious recruitment message often combines urgency, certainty and payment.

The fictional example below demonstrates how several warning signs can appear together.

INT.
INT. Recruitment TeamIllustrative message
Congratulations! You have been shortlisted for a Software Engineer position. To confirm tomorrow’s interview, please pay a refundable registration fee of ₹2,499 within 30 minutes. Once payment is completed, your offer process will be activated.
01
Unexpected certaintySelection is presented as nearly final before a credible evaluation process.
02
Payment request“Refundable” does not make a recruitment fee legitimate.
03
Artificial urgencyA short deadline is designed to stop you from independently verifying the claim.
04
Official-sounding languageWords such as “activation”, “reservation” or “verification” can make a payment sound genuine.

Beyond recruitment

Impersonation can also target vendors, partners and customers.

The same techniques may be used in business communication, especially when a fraudster is trying to redirect payments or collect fees.

Examples to watch for

  • Fake vendor or partner empanelment fees allegedly required to work with INT.
  • Fraudulent procurement requests or purchase orders sent from lookalike domains.
  • Invoice or payment instructions that suddenly change bank account details.
  • Requests to pay a “consultant” who claims they can secure an INT. contract or partnership.
  • Messages impersonating INT. leadership and asking for urgent transfers, gift cards or credentials.

Verify through official INT. channels

Do not rely only on the phone number, email address or link supplied by a suspicious sender. Navigate directly to INT.’s official website.

What to do

If you suspect fraud, follow three simple steps.

01

Pause

Do not transfer money, share credentials, install software or continue a suspicious conversation simply because somebody says it is urgent.

02

Verify

Open a fresh browser window, go directly to intglobal.com and verify the role, person or request through an official INT. channel.

03

Preserve & report

Keep screenshots, sender details, URLs, attachments and payment instructions. If you suffered a loss, contact the appropriate banking, cybercrime or law-enforcement authority promptly.

When in doubt, verify independently through official INT. channels before you click, pay, share or respond.
