Volkswagen Group South Africa (VWSA)
\nhas been made aware of an online scam in which fake job vacancies at VWSA are
\nadvertised and applicants are charged money during the recruitment process.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This scam, which the company strongly
\ncondemns, takes advantage of job seekers by requiring payment before they are
\ninterviewed, and again when they are sent a false appointment letter featuring
\nthe old Volkswagen logo.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

VWSA would never charge money at any point in
\nits recruitment process, and all job vacancies are listed directly on the
\nCareers page on the company website.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A case has been opened with the Kariega police
\nin relation to this scam. The company urges job seekers to not trust job
\nlistings that require payment, and to report any such listings to their nearest
\npolice station. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
