Recruitment Scam Warning

We’ve been made aware that some people have been targeted by scammers posing as recruiters from Diageo India presenting fake job offers.

Scammers aim to mislead job candidate seekers often to obtain money or personal information. They may use various tactics from advertising fake jobs on social platforms and untrusted job boards, to contacting individuals via email, messenger, direct message, text message or WhatsApp message, making communication appear legitimate.

Protecting candidates is very important to us, and we want to ensure you can confidently recognise genuine Diageo India recruitment process communications from Diageo employees. Remember, we’ll never ask for money in our recruitment process.

Warning signs of a potential scam

Be alert if:

You didn’t apply for the job
The job is ‘too good to be true’
The job offer is vague or has errors
The job is on a site you cannot verify
You’re being asked to pay money, share personal details or purchase equipment to secure a job
Communication is by someone using a generic email address (e.g. Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail or any email domain that doesn't end in @diageo.com) or only via messaging apps (e.g., WhatsApp, InMails, Messenger) instead of official company channels
You’re being offered a role without an interview
You’re being pressured to respond immediately to secure an “urgent” role

What to do if you suspect a scam

Do not provide any personal or financial information
Do not send money
Do not respond if you receive unfamiliar or suspicious communications
If you believe you have shared personal or financial details, contact your bank immediately and consider reporting the matter to your local fraud authority
