You may receive an invitation message from a profile allegedly connected with recruiting department of a renown company, presenting you the list of open positions and requesting your CV for further contemplation. Then in two steps you give away your personal data: 1) by connecting with the fake recruiter; 2) by sending CV, which may contain sensitive information (such as your postal address, e-mail, phone nos, connections, employment history, etc.).
The automated response you receive offers absolutely unbelievable salaries and conditions, enticing into further communications.
Distinctive features of the scam:
1) Simplistic profile of the recruiter
2) Public e-mail box (yahoo, gmail, etc)
3) Cliché text in the msg with the link to a wide list of open positions
4) Request for CV at the initial stage
5) Immediate automated response with fantastic prospects, not taking into account any of your specialities but the position title
This scam is potentially high risk for seamen as they specify lots of documents data and personal details in their CV's.
