BEWARE! Online Flyer Showing Julius Berger Is Recruiting Not Authentic

– Julius Berger logo

CareerNG on Facebook claims Julius Berger is recruiting and details on the flyer show it is a call for applications from BUA Group. The link attached to the post redirected visitors to a visa application site unrelated to Julius Berger or BUA.

Online recruitment advertising has become one of the most popular employment methods. However, like all online activities, job hunting carries certain risks that people must be aware of and take precautions against.
CareerNG on Facebook posted a flyer of BUA recruiting with the caption, “This is your opportunity to work with Julius Berger. Application is Ongoing. Apply Now.”

Despite the glaring contraction between the caption and the flyer, the comment section was flooded with many inquiries on how they could apply for the Job. The post garnered 9,500 likes, 1,100 comments, and 158 shares since this report was shared on Feb 13, 2024.

We noticed the virality of the post and the discrepancy between the flyer and the caption. We also noticed that almost everyone in the comments showed interest, so we decided to verify the post.

We observed that although the post said the application was for Julius Berger, the flyer attached showed the application was for BUA Group.

We looked into the link attached to the post. When we clicked on the link, we saw that it redirected us to “Canada job opportunities with visa sponsorship 2024,” which is entirely unrelated to any job recruitment.
We also checked the link’s authenticity using Scam Adviser and saw that the link review had a low trust score.

“The website appears to be hosted by a bad reputation company. Accessing a website hosted by such a corporation can result in sluggish pages, no dependability because the website can be pulled down at any time, insecurity of any data you provide across such a platform, and so on,” Scam Adviser revealed.

We visited the BUA website and noticed that the image attached to the post suggested BUA is recruiting. We found a call for applications for different positions available on its website.

We also visited Julius Berger’s official website to confirm if there is any ongoing recruitment. We noticed that the company has a section dedicated to Job vacancies, but none is running.
To ensure the best online experience and the security of your data, we urge that you only interact with websites hosted by reputable companies.

The information on the post, flyer, and link do not correspond. Furthermore, there is no evidence that Julius Berger is recruiting.
