Netcare 911 cautions public in the light of continued job and training scams

Netcare 911 is alerting the public to the opportunistic placement of Netcare-specific career and training opportunities on social media and other informal platforms, with Netcare’s or Netcare 911’s name being misused in a series of social media job and training scams.

Certain Facebook posts falsely indicate that the company is seeking to employ paramedics and nurses. Similarly, learnerships and internship vacancies within Netcare are also being advertised.

Typically, these fraudsters aim to solicit money from the public with a promise of either employment at a Netcare facility or training towards becoming a Netcare employee. This is often done by requesting applicants to send payment as a part of their application.

In order to assist the public, Netcare is sharing a number of warnings that may indicate that the job or training opportunity advertised is a scam and not legitimate:

The “application form” asks for banking details;
Only a cellular telephone number is supplied for enquiries as the landline is “out of order”;
A dream job without the need of being interviewed is being promised;
A legitimate sounding name (Net-care) is being used;
Payment may well be requested “upfront” for administration purposes, accommodation or uniforms;
The payment mechanism is suggested as being facilitated via a cellular telephone number at a money market facility, such as a supermarket.

We urge the public to be very suspicious of such messages, Facebook postings and emails as they do not originate from Netcare. Job seekers are urged to not make any payment in an attempt to secure a job interview, learnership programme or any other employment or training opportunities where the Netcare or Netcare 911 or a variation of the names is used.

Individuals are advised to contact the Netcare Human Resources Shared Services Centre on 086 022 5547 if they would like to verify the legitimacy of a job posting.
