Recruitment scams

Unfortunately, fraudsters are impersonating Bupa employed recruiters to encourage people to part with private information and/or money. 

These recruitment scams may be circulating via text messages and WhatsApp but also emails - targeting individuals via non-Bupa email accounts such as gmail.com.

Below we have provided some useful information to help you spot and report anything suspicious.

To help spot a potential scam, here are some tips to look out for:

• Be cautious of messages that appear out of the blue from a number/ email address you don't recognise.
• Be cautious if there is urgency to the request or an emotional trigger
• Do not click on any links if you are suspicious as they could contain malware that could be installed on your device.
• Get a second opinion if you're being asked for money or personal details, such as your CV.
• Watch out for poorly written messages and adverts that contain spelling errors.

Bupa will never make a job offer or send a letter of employment without a formal interview process and will never ask for money as part of our recruitment, job offer or visa process.

All Bupa offer letters/contracts are sent via the Bupa Recruitment team and will always come from a Bupa noreply email: Bupa NZ Jobs noreply@jobs.bupa.nz.

If you are unsure of the legitimacy of the letter of offer you have received, please reach out to the recruitment team on recruitment@bupa.co.nz.

How to report recruitment scams in ANZ:

Do not respond or follow any links and don't be tempted to give away personal information, such as your CV, or financial information.

If you've already shared information with a potential scammer, you should report it to Scamwatch, and notify your bank. There are many resources on the Scamwatch site to help you in reporting this and staying safe. 

If you have interacted with a suspicious email, please contact us at scams@bupa.com.au for assistance.
