SBI has warned job seekers of scam offers this year’s International Youth Day. State Bank of India, on the International Youth Day, released a memorandum reminding job hunters. On X (formerly Twitter), the bank gave an alert about fake employment scams.
Job seeker SBI warning
“An important message to future leaders and bright minds! False job opportunities targeting you through WhatsApp, SMS and email.”
The bank therefore advises job seekers to meticulously confirm the truthfulness of every work opportunity and avoid sharing personal information with unauthorised individuals. “Scammers are using too good to be true opportunities in order to trick you into falling for their tricks.” Always confirm the source before giving out any personal details. Stay cautious and secure yourself from frauds!

The State Bank of India also revealed scammers send enticing messages to lure in jobseekers. These scammers will promise higher salaries as well as fast hiring processes for candidates that they identify with most. Once they have gained these user’s trust, they start asking for personal information while making claims about false processing charges.
