Fake emails using Honda’s name
Honda is aware of fake e-mails, popularly called “phishing” e-mails which may contain alerts such as job postings and competition notifications. These emails use Honda’s name to make believe they are genuine but exist solely for the purpose of obtaining private consumer information (such as credit card numbers or passwords). These emails have no connection with Honda and Honda does not use these methods for job advertising or to communicate with contest winners.
Unfortunately, these fake emails are a growing fraud on the Internet. This practice is performed either by sending a bogus email directly to a victim or by directing them to a website where personal information is requested.
Honda never requests payment details in conjunction with job applications, competition notifications or communications relating thereto. If you are unsure whether a job offer is valid, please contact us at ufficio.legale@honda-eu.com
Honda informs you that if you receive an email with the name of Honda requesting personal information or financial information and you have doubts about its authenticity, please treat such emails with extreme caution.
