Beware: an increasing number of job scams are being reported. These messages tell you that you have been recruited and suggest that you follow a WhatsApp account to receive further job offers.
These are attempted scams. Don't be fooled and don't subscribe to the number mentioned!

What to do?

  • Do not click on a link in a suspicious message, do not open attachments and do not download applications if you are asked to.
  • Suspicious emails can be forwarded to [email protected].
  • Suspicious text messages can also be forwarded. Take a screenshot and send it to [email protected]. The content is then processed automatically.

Did you click on a suspicious link?

  • If you have clicked on the link, do not complete the fields and terminate any interaction.
  • NEVER give out personal codes.
  • If you have entered a password that you also use elsewhere, change it immediately.

Have you been scammed?

  • If you have lost money or are being extorted, we recommend that you file a report with your local police straight away.
  • Contact your bank and/or Card Stop on 078 170 170 (+32 78 170 170 from abroad) if you have passed on bank details, money is disappearing from your bank account or if you have transferred money to a scammer. In this way, any fraudulent transactions can be blocked.
