Beware of recruitment and phishing scams

Recruitment scam alerts and how to protect yourself

Airswift is aware of ongoing recruitment scams where individuals and groups falsely claim to represent our business. These scams are designed to mislead job seekers into sharing personal information or making payments under the guise of legitimate job opportunities.

This page outlines known scam incidents, how they operate, and most importantly - how to verify whether a recruiter is genuinely from Airswift.

If you believe you've been contacted by a scammer or are unsure about an offer you've received, we strongly encourage you to review the information below before taking any further action.

What to do if you suspect a scam

If you believe someone is impersonating an Airswift recruiter:

  1. Contact Airswift directly using the contact details listed on the official website.
  2. Report the incident to the platform used (LinkedIn, email provider, messaging app).
  3. Notify your local consumer protection or cybercrime authority.
  4. Block the individual to prevent further contact.

Reporting suspected scams helps protect other job seekers and allows companies to act quickly. For more information, read our blogs on:

November 10th 2025 - APAC recruitment scam posing as Airswift

We have been informed of fraudulent recruitment scams targeting candidates in APAC

This recruitment-related email scam offers job opportunities and interviews claiming to be Airswift, but uses a "@airswift.asia" email domain.

To confirm, we would only contact you from the domain @airswift.com

We urge you to cease contact with the scammers straight away.

May 20th 2024 - Malaysian recruitment scam on Instagram posing as our Chief Revenue Officer

We have been informed of a fraudulent recruitment scam targeting candidates in Malaysia on Instagram

These fraudulent entities use profiles with Airswift's likeness and are exploiting the name of our Chief Revenue Officer, Anna Frazzetto. This scam is falsely claiming her authority to secure US visas for potential job applicants.

They request payments nearing $470 USD per visa application-a significant sum, making this scam particularly harmful. The scammers have also been utilising email addresses from AOL, which is a clear indicator of the deceit as Airswift does not use such email services for professional communication.

Examples of the scam in action:

Screenshot 1:

  • The logo used is grainy
  • Grammar is bad
  • Addresses are wrong
  • False signature and wrong job title of our CRO

Screenshot 2:

  • The logos used are grainy
  • Grammar is bad
  • Airswift Recruitment/Airswift Recruitment Agency is not our company name
  • False signature and the wrong job title of our CRO

Screenshot 3:

  • Grammar is bad
  • We would only contact you from the domain @airswift.com not @aol.com

Screenshot 4:

  • @airswift.wordlwide is not one of our handles

March 22nd 2024 - Recruitment phishing scam: airswiftresourcing.com

We have been informed of a circulating fraudulent phishing scam under the name of airswiftresourcing.com

The scam involves using the name of Airswift's CEO and sending "offer letters" to the recipients. The domain "airswiftresourcing.com" is not affiliated with Airswift.

If you have received an offer letter, but no prior contact then this will not be from Airswift.

We are seeing an increase of scam attempts in various formats like email, WhatsApp, and text message, but unfortunately we cannot control what comes through these systems.

To confirm, we do not charge candidates to put them forward for jobs and we would only contact you from the domaiN @airswift.com

Our CEO will never contact you in respect to an open recruitment position.

Please be vigilant; do not interact with the message beyond reporting it through the official means within the application.

What to do if you are a victim of this scam

If you happen to fall victim to this recruitment scam, we recommend that you contact your local authorities and file a report.

How to report messages:

Local government/police authorities allow you to report these:

Other ways to report:

We urge you to cease contact with the scammers straight away to prevent any more attempts at receiving your money.

July 18th 2023 - Recruitment scam targeting candidates via WhatsApp

We have been informed of a circulating fraudulent WhatsApp scam using the Airswift name.

The scammers are posing as Airswift employees, offering various flexible full/part-time vacancies via WhatsApp and text messages.

These messages often promise remote jobs with unrealistic hours and salaries.

These individuals do not represent Airswift and we encourage candidates to be wary of anyone requesting money for medical tests or visa applications as part of the recruitment process.

We have received updated information that these scams have been targeting people in the Netherlands using a Dutch phone number. The scammer has used the name Simon Gerlach and has been falsely claiming to be associated with Airswift. Airswift has no connection or affiliation with Simon Gerlach, and they are not employed or connected to our organisation in any capacity.

What to do if you receive communication via Whatsapp?

To safeguard yourself from potential fraudulent activities, we strongly advise you to exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of anyone who claims to be representing Airswift. Authentic communications from our organization should always originate from official email domains.

In the event of receiving communication via WhatsApp from an individual purporting to be a recruiter, we highly recommend that you insist on requesting their correspondence to be conducted through an official Airswift email address.

Examples of the scam in action

Below are images of the messages the scammers have been sending.

Please know that although these messages are often sent by people pretending to be current Airswift employees, these scammers are in no way affiliated with Airswift.

July 18th 2023 - Recruitment scam targeting candidates in India and Asia

We have been informed of a fraudulent scam that is circulating, and our candidate base should be aware of it

The scammers are posing as recruiters for companies and informing candidates that they need to pay a 'refundable' fee on behalf of Airswift if they wish to accept a job offer.

This fee is taken and the scammer will then cease contact.

These individuals do not represent Airswift and we encourage candidates to be wary of anyone requesting money for medical tests or visa applications as part of the recruitment process.

Several candidates have identified two companies, 'Ramen Overseas Consultants' and 'Sunbright Vision Consultancy', using the Airswift name fraudulently. This company is not associated with Airswift.

Examples of the scam in action

Below are images of the business cards the scammers have been using.

Please know that these materials are not Airswift documentation

  • We do not currently have an office in these locations
  • We would only contact you from an email address ending in @airswift.com, never "gmail.com" or "@airswif.sg"
  • The second image and logo is not our official branding
  • The logos used are very grainy

Alongside fake business cards you may have received a fake job offer

Please note the graininess of the image, inconsistent formatting and lack of spacing in the section requesting payment.

Sometimes these letters refer to a 'Paul Barron' who does not work for Airswift.

Or a fake invoice

In the below invoice, the fee is described as an insurance amount to accompany the job application.

Again, note the inconsistent formatting and grammar.

How to verify an Airswift recruiter

Recruitment scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated and they often look convincing. Before you share personal details or continue the conversation, take a few minutes to verify who you're speaking with.

The steps below outline the clearest and safest way to confirm whether a recruiter is genuinely from Airswift.

Step 1: Start with official Airswift channels (Not the message you received)

Scammers often include links that lead to fake or look-alike websites. Rather than clicking anything directly, open a browser and search for Airswift yourself.

Once you're on the official Airswift website, use it as your reference point.

Here's what to check:

  • Company presence: Visit Airswift's LinkedIn company page via the official website. Legitimate recruiters will usually have profiles that show current employment with Airswift.
  • Role details: If the recruiter mentioned a specific job, see whether similar roles are advertised on Airswift's website or official job boards.
    • Some roles -especially agency-led or confidential searches- may not be publicly listed, so the absence of a job ad does not automatically mean a scam.
  • Contact details: The website's contact information allows you to reach out directly if you want to verify that a recruiter works at Airswift.
  • Alerts or updates: If Airswift is aware of impersonation attempts, this information may appear on official channels.

If anything doesn't align with what you're seeing on Airswift's own platforms, pause before continuing.

Step 2: Verify the email address

If the recruiter contacted you by email, the email address itself is one of the strongest indicators of legitimacy.

A genuine Airswift recruiter will only email you from a company domain ending in: @airswift.com

Why this matters

Scammers often disguise their emails by altering the sender name to look legitimate. What you see at first glance isn't always the real sending address.

How to check:

  1. Hover over the sender's name (don't click it).
  2. Look at the full email address that appears.
  3. Confirm the domain is exactly airswift.com with othing added, removed, or changed.

Be especially cautious of:

  • Slightly altered domains (e.g. extra words or hyphens)
  • Free email providers (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo)
  • Subtle letter swaps that are easy to miss

If the domain doesn't match exactly, treat it as a red flag.

Step 3: Cross-check the recruiter's digital footprint

Legitimate recruiters typically have a consistent online presence.

Take a moment to:

  • Review the recruiter's LinkedIn profile
  • Check whether it links to Airswift's official company page
  • Look at employment history, activity, and connections

A sparse profile, a recently created account, or a lack of connection to the official Airswift page should raise concerns.

Step 4: Know what legitimate Airswift recruiters will never ask for

This step is just as important as verifying names and domains.

An Airswift recruiter will never:

  • Ask you to pay fees to secure a job
  • Request bank details, payment apps, or financial information upfront
  • Pressure you to act urgently "to avoid losing the role"
  • Request sensitive documents before a formal recruitment process begins

If any of these occur, stop engagement immediately.
