Fortescue is aware of fraudulent activity where individuals falsely claim to represent Fortescue during recruitment. These scams may appear on legitimate or fake job websites, social media platforms, or via email and messaging apps.

Fortescue does not charge fees or request payments, cryptocurrency, or financial information at any stage of recruitment.

Warning Signs it Might be a Scam

  • Email Address

    You receive an email communication that does not come from a xxx@fortescue.com email address. 

  • Fast Hiring Process

    The process is unusually fast or lacks proper interviews and reference checks.

  • Too Good to be True

    You are told you can earn a high income while working from home and with little effort.

  • Unexpected messaging

    You are contacted unexpectedly via text or encrypted messaging apps like WhatsApp, Signal or Telegram.

  • Recruitment Fee

    You are required to pay a 'recruitment fee’ or pay for training materials before you begin the job.

  • Payment

    You are told to top up an account with your own money or cryptocurrency to complete tasks.

  • Exchanging money or packages

    The job involves transferring money, making purchases or receiving packages on behalf of someone else.

Think You've Been Scammed?

  • Contact your bank or credit card provider immediately.
