Yodel Mobile Recruitment Scam
At Yodel Mobile, we take immense pride in our reputation as a trusted app marketing agency. Unfortunately, like many reputable organisations, we’ve become the target of scammers attempting to exploit our name and deceive unsuspecting individuals. This blog aims to raise awareness of the ongoing issue and provide clear guidance to protect yourself from falling victim to the Yodel Mobile scam.
What Is the Yodel Mobile Scam?
Scammers are impersonating our recruiters and representatives, contacting individuals under false pretences to solicit personal information, financial details, or even money. These fraudulent activities not only harm those targeted but also damage the trust we’ve built as a company.
Here are the primary methods these scammers use and how to recognise them:
How to Be Aware of the Yodel Mobile Scam
- These individuals are NOT affiliated with Yodel Mobile. They are impostors exploiting our brand name to commit fraud.
- Common Platforms: Scammers often approach their targets via WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, or other non-professional communication tools. Yodel Mobile does not use these platforms for official communication or recruitment purposes.
- Unsolicited Offers: Be wary of unexpected recruitment offers, especially those asking for personal information or financial transactions. Yodel Mobile’s hiring process is transparent and never involves any payments from candidates.
How to Identify a Yodel Mobile Scam
Communication Platforms
- Be cautious if someone claiming to represent Yodel Mobile contacts you through:
- WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger: These platforms are not used for official communication. Block and report any accounts making such claims.
- Requests for ASO Work or Login Credentials: Scammers might ask you to log in to a workbench website or complete tasks under the guise of employment. Do not comply—this is a trap.
2. Fake Websites

3. Cryptocurrency Investments
- Red Flag Alert: If someone claiming to be from Yodel Mobile pushes you to invest in cryptocurrency, it is a scam. They may promise high commissions for tasks, but their true intention is to extract money from you.
