Every day con artists look for new ways to scam internet users from their money. The latest phishing scheme concerns a fraudulent job application for KIA. According to the Korean automaker, the scam involves an advert for specialist computer staff working in overseas markets being offered short-term, highly-paid work at the company's UK head office. Up until now, KIA is only aware of one individual being targeted through a recruitment advert featured on a Middle East website. Luckily, the person concerned contacted Kia directly before revealing any personal details that could result in identity theft or possibly the misuse of bank and credit card details.Gary Tomlinson, Kia's General Manager of Human Resources said: "Fortunately this particular individual was not caught out, but this is a particularly callous attempt at fraud as it hits people desperately looking for work during the economic down-turn.
"We have passed all the information we have available to us to the Police and hope these individuals can be tracked down as quickly as possible," he added.
