ATTENTION! SCAM DETECTED

Key takeaways

• Elogic reports a recruitment scam where people in the US were contacted via WhatsApp and asked to pay for training.

• Elogic states it does not use third-party companies for recruitment efforts in the United States and doesn’t charge candidates.

• Official outreach (per the post) uses email addresses ending with @elogic.co.

• Elogic says it does not: charge upfront employment fees, offer positions via SMS/WhatsApp, or use any official domain other than elogic.co.

When This Applies

Use this if you (or someone you know) receives a message claiming to be “Elogic” recruiting, especially if it happens via WhatsApp/SMS or includes any request to pay (for training, onboarding, equipment, background checks, etc.).

When This Doesn’t Apply

Don’t use this as a general hiring guide or security playbook—it’s a specific warning about impersonation and payment requests tied to fake recruitment outreach.

Checklist

1. Treat any “Elogic job offer” via WhatsApp/SMS as suspicious.

2. Refuse any request to pay upfront for employment or training.

3. Verify the sender’s email domain is exactly @elogic.co (watch for lookalikes).

4. Ask to continue communication via a verifiable @elogic.co email thread (not messengers).

5. If you already engaged, stop the conversation and document: screenshots, numbers, emails, payment details (if any).

6. Share the warning internally (HR, legal, security) if you’re a brand that might be targeted similarly.

Common pitfalls

• Paying “training fees” because the message sounds official or urgent.

• Trusting WhatsApp/SMS as a legitimate hiring channel for this company.

• Not checking the domain carefully (e.g., subtle typos or extra words around elogic.co).

• Sharing personal documents/info before confirming the recruiter identity through official channels.
