Wawanesa Reports Spike In Fake Insurance Job Postings

As insurers work hard to hire new talent, they are struggling with fraudsters in their way.

Wawanesa has issued a news release cautioning people looking for insurance job postings that while insurers are typically hiring right now, there are many fraudsters out there looking to scam job hunters.

Insurers have been a particular subject for scams having to do with employment opportunities.

The scam insurance job postings mentioned in the Wawanesa report are described as attempting to trick job seekers into applying for what they think is a position with the insurer.

They tend to use cleverly created email addresses and pretend that they are one of the company’s Human Resources employees. They also try to contact people via private messages.
