ALERT ON FAKE JOB OFFERS
This is an important notice on fraudulent communications that have been made the public on behalf of Companies within the Perenco Group (“Perenco”).
Recently, proposals for employment made by false organisations claiming to work for Perenco, or by individuals claiming to work or be affiliated with Perenco, have been reported.
