Beware of Fake Job Ads
Nova Poshta has alerted the public to fraudulent job postings that scammers are circulating under the company’s name. These advertisements are in no way affiliated with Nova Poshta or any other companies within the Nova group. Criminals are illegally exploiting the brand and copying its logo, which could mislead potential candidates. The company stresses that all legitimate hiring is conducted through official channels only. Current job openings are exclusively published on the company’s official website, as well as on the job portals work.ua and robota.ua. This warning comes amid a broader rise in employment scams and phishing attacks targeting people across Ukraine.
Nova Poshta emphasizes that employment with the company is entirely free of charge.
'Getting a job at Nova Poshta costs nothing. We do not charge for training, paperwork, or materials,' company representatives state.For anyone who encounters suspicious advertisements, Nova Poshta advises not to click on any links and to contact their hotline at 0 800 500 609, 'so we can take prompt action to block the scammers.'
Recognizing Scams and Fraudulent Schemes
Additionally, a large-scale phishing cyberattack has been recorded in Ukraine, where criminals are sending emails about alleged debts to the state, using the tax service’s branding. Scammers have also been distributing fake messages about traffic violation fines. Oleksii Biloshytskyi, First Deputy Head of the Patrol Police Department, has warned the public about this new deceptive tactic.
How can you spot fraudsters? They typically:
- promise work for simply liking posts or daily payments directly to your bank card,
- redirect you to third-party Telegram bots,
- offer a flexible schedule with no commitments,
- demand payment for something or ask for passwords, SMS codes, or banking details.
Nova Poshta urges everyone to remain vigilant and to carefully verify any information to avoid falling victim to fraud.
It is important to note that employment scams and phishing activity pose a serious threat to the public. Consumers should exercise caution and always verify the sources of information to avoid being trapped by criminals. Official companies like Nova Poshta continue to take measures to protect their clients and prevent fraud.
