Circulation of fake job notices and appointment letters is on rise these days.

Recently Ministry of Railways had warned candidates about a fake recruitment notice. The notice released by a private agency claimed that over 5,000 vacancies are available in the railways and the company has been hired to conduct the recruitment. The notification had also asked candidates to deposit Rs 750 as application form charge.

In another similar incident, recruitment notice of a fake organisation was advertised by Employment News, a weekly job journal from Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. The notice was later withdrawn. The job advertisement claimed that over 500 vacancies are available in a "Office of the Special Defence Personnel Forum" in the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. "No such organisation exists under the Ministry," PIB Fact Check had said.
