Recruitment Fraud Advisory

GSPANN Technologies follows a merit-based recruitment process with structured screening and formal interviews. GSPANN does not charge or accept any amount, fee, or security deposit from candidates at any stage of the recruitment process.

This page explains how recruitment fraud typically operates, how to identify it, and how to verify whether a communication you have received is genuinely from GSPANN.

The Rise of Recruitment Fraud

There has been a steady increase in recruitment fraud across the IT services industry. Scammers post fraudulent job openings, contact job seekers with fake offers, conduct fake interviews, and at times issue forged offer letters in the name of well-known companies. In many cases, the objective is to extract money from candidates in the form of processing fees, training fees, or security deposits, or to obtain sensitive personal information such as bank details, Aadhaar numbers, or identity documents.

GSPANN has observed that certain individuals may have, from time to time, impersonated members of our recruitment team and approached candidates with fake offers. If you or someone you know receives an unsolicited job offer, an interview call against payment of money, or any communication that appears suspicious, please treat it as a scam and verify with us before taking any action.

Points to Note

We never ask for money. GSPANN never requests a fee, deposit, training charge, or payment of any kind at any stage of the hiring process. We will never ask you to pay for the opportunity to apply, interview, or work with us.

We always interview. Every hire at GSPANN goes through at least one formal interview, conducted virtually or in person by our recruitment team and business stakeholders. We do not issue offers without an interview.

We use official channels only. Our recruitment team corresponds from email addresses on the @gspann.com domain. Interviews are scheduled through verified calendar invitations and conducted on standard enterprise video platforms.

We do not interview over instant messaging apps. GSPANN does not conduct interviews over WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, or any personal chat application.

We do not ask for sensitive personal documents upfront. Bank account details, tax forms, PAN or Aadhaar documents, and similar personally sensitive information are requested only after a formal offer is accepted and as part of our documented onboarding and background verification process.

How to Identify Recruitment Fraud

A communication is likely fraudulent if one or more of the following apply.

Domain and Email Address

The sender's domain is not exactly @gspann.com. Lookalike domains such as @gspann-technologies.com, @gspanntechnologies.com, @gspanntech.com, or free email providers (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook) should be treated as red flags. Even if the display name reads 'GSPANN,' the actual sender address is what matters.

Display names can be spoofed. A sender may show 'GSPANN HR' or 'GSPANN Recruitment' while the underlying address is something entirely different. Always inspect the full email address before responding.

Payment Requests

• You are asked to pay a registration fee, processing fee, training fee, laptop deposit, or security deposit at any stage.
• You are asked to transfer money to an individual's personal UPI ID or bank account.

Process Irregularities

• An offer letter arrives without a prior formal interview.
• The interview was conducted only over WhatsApp, Telegram, or a personal phone number.
• You are pressured to accept an offer quickly or asked to make a payment within a short deadline.
• You are asked to share sensitive personal documents before a formal offer has been issued.

Document Quality

• The offer letter contains grammatical errors, inconsistent formatting, mismatched company details, or incorrect office addresses.
• Logos, fonts, or stamps look slightly off compared to GSPANN's official branding.

Location and Meeting Place

You are invited for an in-person interview at a location that is not a verified GSPANN office. Our verified office locations are listed on gspann.com.

How to Verify a Communication from GSPANN

If you have received a communication that claims to be from GSPANN and you are unsure whether it is genuine, please take the following steps before responding or making any payment.

1. Check the sender domain. Confirm that the email address ends in exactly @gspann.com.
2. Cross-check on the GSPANN careers website. Open careers.gspann.com directly in your browser (do not click links in the suspicious email) and verify that the role exists and matches the one you have been contacted about.
3. Verify the recruiter. Every GSPANN recruiter has a verifiable LinkedIn profile linked to GSPANN Technologies. If you cannot find the person, or their profile details do not match, treat the communication as suspicious.
4. Write to us. If you remain uncertain, write to report-fraud@gspann.com with the full communication attached. Our team will confirm whether the person contacting you is a genuine GSPANN employee.

If You Believe You Have Been Defrauded

If you have already engaged with a fraudulent communication or made a payment, please act quickly.

1. Preserve all evidence. Save every email, the full offer letter PDF, chat transcripts, call logs, payment receipts, and any identity or business cards the person may have shared.
2. Report to GSPANN. Write to report-fraud@gspann.com with the evidence attached. Our team will respond within one working day and will include your report in any ongoing investigation.
3. File a cybercrime complaint. In India, lodge a complaint at cybercrime.gov.in or call the national cybercrime helpline 1930. If money has been transferred, report it within the first few hours for the best chance of recovery. If you are based outside India, report the incident to your local cybercrime or law enforcement agency.
4. File a police complaint. Lodge a First Information Report at your nearest police station and share a copy with us at report-fraud@gspann.com.
