One of our TYP Group verified Candidates recently received an unsolicited WhatsApp message impersonating a real agency, promising £500 to £1,000 per day for 60 to 90 minutes’ work.

This isn’t recruitment.

It’s data scraping & impersonation and it’s often the first step in a wider chain of fraud.

And if you’re thinking these practices are just small crimes committed by small-time criminals, think again. Here is an example of how these tactics are being used in large-scale human trafficking and slavery crimes to grow these scam networks. 👉 What the Hell Is Happening in Cambodia? | AB Explained

At TYP Group, we’re committed to drawing a hard line:

❌ No scraped data
❌ No resale of candidate details
❌ No anonymous or unverified outreach

Even “low-level” scraping fuels the same ecosystem used by serious criminals.
If we disrupt the early stages, we limit the harm further up the chain.

Recruitment should be human, consent-led, and trusted, so when a candidate gets a #WhatsApp message, they know it’s real.
