LUTON Airport, is warning job seekers of a recruitment scam.
In the scam a £100 payment is requested to process their references following an application for a role as an airport security officer.
On its website, the airport states:
“We have been made aware of fraudulent online recruitment advertisements purporting to offer positions as Airport Security Officers.
“Jobseekers are advised that Security recruitment opportunities at the Airport are always posted on the recruitment page of our official website and we do not make any charge to applicants for pre-employment checks.”
In a statement sent to Recruiter, a spokesman said the airport had been contacted by a member of the public on July 31, who wished to check the job he had been offered via an email from a Gmail account was legitimate. He had applied for a security officer job off the back of an ad he had seen on job search engine Indeed. The ad no longer appears on the site.
The statement said: “As a responsible employer, we have signposted the issue on our website which is the official source of all jobs for the Airport Authority.”

"and we do not make any charge to applicants for pre-employment checks." – I imagine that’s only because you hadn’t thought of it yet! How can Luton Airport talk about scams with a straight face when they charge the following… Drop off and Pick Up in Short Term Car Park: £7.00 for 40 minutes and a 4 minute walk to the terminal. Priority Set Down/Drop Off Pick Up Zone: Closest to the terminal at £2.50 for 10 minutes.
