IMPORTANT SCAM ALERT: Fraudulent Recruitment Activities and Fake Website

Patties Food Group has been made aware of fraudulent recruitment activities involving a website that impersonates our official brand. Scammers are using a domain name nearly identical to ours to mislead job seekers and solicit money under the guise of "recruitment fees," "processing charges," or "training costs."

We take the security of our community and the integrity of our brand very seriously. Please read the following information carefully to protect yourself from these scams.

How to Identify the Fraudulent Website The scammers are using a technique known as "typosquatting," where they register a domain that looks almost exactly like a legitimate one.

OFFICIAL WEBSITE: www.pattiesfoodgroup.com

FRAUDULENT WEBSITE: pattiesfoodsgroup.com (Note the extra "s" in "foods")

Please do not visit, provide personal information to, or engage with the fraudulent "foods" domain.

Warning Signs of Recruitment Fraud If you are approached regarding a career opportunity at Patties Food Group, please look for these red flags which indicate a scam:

Requests for Money: This is the biggest red flag. Patties Food Group will NEVER ask for money, bank details, or payments at any stage of the recruitment process. We do not charge fees for interviews, visas, documentation, or equipment.

Unsolicited Job Offers: Be wary of job offers sent via WhatsApp, Telegram, or social media without you having applied for a specific role through our official channels.

Suspicious Email Addresses: Official communications from us will always come from an email address ending in @pattiesfoodgroup.com.au or @pattiesfoodgroup.com. Scammers often use free services like Gmail, Yahoo, or the fake domain mentioned above.

Urgent or Poorly Written Correspondence: Scammers often use high-pressure tactics or display poor grammar and spelling in their "official" letters.
