Scam!!!

It's a scam. They sent me an email that reads as such from a Gmail account :

Good day,

We received your application regarding the advertised Customer Service Consultant Staff Vacancy and we apologize for the late response as we have been waiting on the new openings.

We would like to inform you that we now have a right position suitable for you to be filled within this month of June 2020 at a starting salary of R9550 per month plus benefits on a contract to permanent basis.

This full time position is available within a well known Telecommunications company which is authorized to operate during the lockdown and you will be working as a Customer Service Consultant under our Executive Recruitment Network. (ERN)

We're now finalizing the entire application process but before you join the company, your employers require a recent (not older than three months) full background check & screening on your profile as this is now a compulsory prior to the final job offer.

Kindly note that us as an agency, we do not provide this service.

There're a few companies providing this service and if you would like to do it yourself, please do so and send the proof of your background checks to:admin@executiverecruitmentnetwork.co.za by Friday 19th June 2020.

However, we would recommend Interchecks South Africa to assist you as they have proven to be professionals, reliable and affordable.

Kindly also note that a small service fee for the background check & screening applies and this fee has to be covered by you (The Applicant) and it cannot be deducted from any of your salaries whatsoever.

We thank you for your patience and looking forward to having you as an employee.

NB: ANY OTHER INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR NEW POST WILL BE PROVIDED ONCE WE RECEIVE THE PROOF / OUTCOMES REPORT OF YOUR BACKGROUND CHECKS & SCREENING.

Kind Regards
