Fake Swyftx jobs may appear on job websites advertising roles in various regions across Australia. For example, we have recently seen a ‘Finance Assistant’ role be posted.

After applying through the job website, scammers will attempt to reach out to you via email and provide a PDF with a fake job description, along with an invite to join a Skype call to discuss the role further.
