Beware of Telegram Impersonation of Understanding Recruitment Ltd

1 minute

We have been made aware of a fraud scam involving individuals impersonating Understanding Recruitment Ltd on Telegram. Multiple candidates have contacted us to report fake accounts claiming to represent our business.

These impersonators are:

  • Conducting fake “interviews” via Telegram

  • Issuing bogus tasks or “test projects”

  • Requesting money or “access fees” for tasks, job opportunities, or platforms

  • Promoting fake crypto investment schemes under the guise of recruitment activity

We want to be absolutely clear:

  • We do not conduct interviews via Telegram.

  • We will never ask candidates for money, payment, or verification fees at any stage of a recruitment process.

  • We do not offer or promote crypto investments of any kind.

If you are contacted by someone claiming to be from Understanding Recruitment via Telegram (or any other unofficial channel) who:

  • Asks you to pay money or charges any kind of fee

  • Requests payment or investment in cryptocurrency

  • Uses poor grammar, unprofessional language, or high-pressure tactics

  • Refuses to communicate via the official contact channels listed on our website

please treat this as suspicious.

How to protect yourself

  • Do not send any payments or share your bank details, crypto wallet details, or passwords.

  • Do not share sensitive personal documents (e.g. passport, ID, bank statements) via Telegram or other messaging apps.

  • Verify the person’s identity by contacting us directly using the details on our official website.

  • Take screenshots and report the account to Telegram and, where appropriate, to your local fraud reporting authority (for example, Action Fraud in the UK).

If you’re unsure whether a communication is genuinely from Understanding Recruitment, please contact us via the official contact details on our website and we will be happy to confirm.

Your safety and trust are extremely important to us, and we are actively working to report and remove any fraudulent profiles misusing our name.
