How to identify genuine job offers from
Swiss Interim Management.
Warning: Fake job offers via WhatsApp – Misuse of our name
Currently, people in Switzerland are being contacted via WhatsApp from foreign numbers – allegedly in our name. The addressed phone numbers and messages do not originate from us. These scam activities are being carried out in the name of numerous recruitment agencies.
We have reported the incident to the Federal Office for Cyber Security (BACS). The issue is well known to the authorities.
