Attention job aspirants and applicants - How to identify hoax email job offers

Attention job aspirants and applicants:
In a rapidly changing environment, most of the MNCs reputation remains their greatest business asset. They have built their reputation on the bedrock of nurturing values and ethics where integrity towards all stakeholders, both internal and external is of utmost importance.
Please note that there are fake job offers being made in the name of reputed companies. Candidates who have posted their resumes in certain job portals and websites have been offered employment with us on the condition that they make a payment to specified bank accounts.

Oracle Apps does not take payment from candidates for employment purposes and will not be liable for any kind of loss or damage incurred as a result of dealing with such entities.
 How to identify hoax email job offers:
·         The emails come from a free, public domain email account (such as gmail.com or hotmail.com) and not a company email id such as Oracle Apps.com.
·         They request a cash deposit in a bank account or payment in some form.
·         They ask for personal details such as bank account, credit card number, personal address, social security/PAN number.
·         If the email begins with "Dear Sir" or "Dear User", the sender of the email does not know you by name. A legitimate source will address you with a proper salutation, which contains your last name.
·         Another way to identify fraudulent job offers is when you spot several grammatical errors in the email text. This would not usually happen in an email from a legitimate company.
