Software major Wipro warned prospective job seekers against falling prey to bogus emails that offered interview calls from the company.
Wipro vice president, Talent Acquisition, Pradeep Bahirwani said that the company had come across such fradulent letters earlier too "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 promised attractive salaries in the range of Rs 15,000 to Rs 65,000 a month, he said.
The e-mails were sent to job aspirants registered in different job portals informing that they had been shortlisted for interviews for various vacancies. 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.
The letters stated scheduled the interview at the company's Noida office. However, Wipro has no office in Noida.
