Company Representative scams, Payment Processing scams and other Employment scams.
#12106 by Clair Wed Jul 29, 2009 8:38 am
There is a group of scammers working out of Malaysia offering jobs with Halliburton Oil & Gas. The job offers usually come in an email saying that you have been offered a job with Halliburton in Malaysia. The pay and benefits offered are outstanding, in fact, they are too good to be true. Once you fill out an application and send them your resume, you are directed to an "Immigration services" email account. From the Immigration services email you are asked to send fees via Western Union for the processing of a visa and work permits.

The names currently being used in the scam are Bar. Najib Mohamed claiming to be from Halliburton and Dr. Faridah .M. from the Visa Department.

These criminals are working out of several email addresses, here are some that I have collected, but there are many more:

Note that real employees of Halliburton Oil and Gas would use an email address ending in [email protected], not a free email account such as gmail/googlemail or yahoo.

The Career section of the real Halliburton Oil and Gas company is found here: http://www.halliburton.com/careers/. They have the following warning posted about the fraudulent job offers.
Fraudulent Employment Offers
We are aware that fraudulent employment offers are being transmitted via E-mail by people claiming to be employees or representatives of Halliburton. Prospective candidates are provided salary information, instructed to obtain immigration documents and pay application/processing fees, and then advised they will be reimbursed for any expenses.

Please be advised that these communications are FRAUDULENT and are NOT sent from anyone within or affiliated with Halliburton. These E-mail messages are a scam and should be treated as such.

If you receive such a message, you are advised to contact your local law enforcement agency and provide any details you may have. You also may forward the messages to [email protected].

If you are interested in employment with Halliburton, please see our Current Job Openings.


Remember if the job offer is too good to be true...it probably is!

It is almost certainly a scam.

The domain haliburtonservices.co.uk does not appear to be registered, so is probably being spoofed. Please post the email you have received and the headers for it (remove your personal details).

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.

I received a vacancy application at MAY21, 2015 from Halliburton ([email protected]), so I replied to this mail then I filled interview form then the contract terms of agreement. Then they asked me to mail this agreement to HMRC ([email protected]) after that, HMRC group send me an e-mail request to pay the sum of 720.50 GBP to (Carolyn Mayer - 100 parliament street, Westminster London SW1A 2BQ united kingdom) as fees which will be used for the processing of my visa and flight ticket. So I want to investigate about this process to make sure if it is genuine or fake.
