Netcare Greenacres Hospital confirmed this morning that job advertisements appearing on social media and other platforms, claiming that Netcare or Netcare hospitals are looking to either employ or train people, is fake news.
“These advertisements may appear very legitimate. The management of Netcare Greenacres Hospital confirmed that this is fake news,” the hospital announced on its official Facebook page.
The hospital also shared some red flags that may point to the fact that the training opportunity or job advertised on social media is a scam and not legitimate:
- The application form asks for your banking details;
- Only a cellular telephone number is supplied for enquiries, sometimes claiming that the landline is “out of order”;
- A dream job or training is promised without the need for you to be interviewed;
- Payment may well be requested from you upfront for so-called 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 you to make contact with the Netcare Human Resources Shared Services Centre on 086 022 5547 to verify the legitimacy of any training opportunity or job offer.”
