AirAsia issued a warning on June 18 about a fake recruitment website using the domain http://airasiaexpress.com to impersonate its official careers page [1, 2, 3, 4]. The fraudulent site collects personal information from applicants and demands payment of so-called processing fees to proceed with fake hiring procedures. "The scam operates by mimicking AirAsia's official careers page to collect personal information and demands payment of 'processing fees' to proceed with a fake hiring process," the company said [2].
The airline clarified that its legitimate careers portal is only at http://careers.airasia.com and emphasized it never charges any fees for job applications [1, 2, 3, 4]. AirAsia urged applicants to avoid sharing personal or payment details with unauthorized websites claiming to represent the airline. "Applicants are advised not to share personal details or payment information with unauthorised websites," the company said [1].
Officials said the airline continues to monitor fraudulent activities targeting job seekers and encouraged the public to verify all recruitment information through official channels [1, 2, 3, 4]. "Job seekers are advised that AirAsia's official careers portal is exclusively located at careers.airasia.com and the company never charges processing fees for job applications," AirAsia added [4].
The warning aims to protect potential candidates from being scammed by impostor websites amid ongoing recruitment efforts by the airline.
