Beware of this Coca-Cola job scam
Coca-Cola Beverages South Africa (CCBSA) noted that there is currently a recruitment scam running online that job seekers need to be aware of.
In particular, CCBSA has observed the re-emergence of individuals claiming to be representatives of the company advertising fraudulent offers of employment in exchange for payment, in order to bypass the “recruitment process”. The offers come from unauthorised individuals fraudulently recruiting on CCBSA’s behalf or claiming to work for or be associated with the company.
The company stated that it has not authorised any of these job ads and that it is not linked in any way to CCBSA or any of its entities. All such activities must therefore be regarded as criminal and unlawful and should be reported accordingly.
CCBSA added that it or any of its entities would ever ask for upfront fees or payment before, during and/or after the recruitment process.
The company stated that its recruitment process is fair and formal, meeting all legal and industry requirements. Should an individual be successful in gaining an offer of employment from the company, this communication would originate from a verifiable CCBSA source.
Job seekers are advised not to be attracted or lured by any communication which solicits payment or otherwise. If they are in doubt or suspicious about offers of employment they have received, they should contact CCBSA directly on 0800 005 174 to confirm whether the offer is legitimate.
Furthermore, job seekers suspicious of any fraudulent activities linked to job offers at CCBSA may contact the police services on 10111 or report the matter at a police station nearby.
CCBSA is investigating all claims received in this regard while working with the relevant authorities to end this fraudulent activity.
