At a time when Phishing and Web based frauds are prevalent all over, it was a discomforting feeling to see that there was a web based ad in Gumtree.com in the name of Naavi inviting recruitment of web based workers by some party perhaps in Australia.
Since the ad invites applications from web workers which could at some point of time in future result in some fraud, and loss to the respondent of the ad, I hereby notify the Cyber world that I am not in any way associated with the ad and this could be a possible attempt of impersonation.
I have placed a formal Cyber Notice at www.cyber-notice.com and also sent a notice to Gumtree.com separately as follows.
To avoid domain name confusions, I had designed the “Lookalikes.in” service and now the problem is widening. I have suggested a simple solution to the advertiser to add a disclaimer that this has no relation to Naavi, the founder of www.naavi.org.
I hope they would adhere to this ethical practice. if not, it would confirm that their intentions are suspect.
In the meantime, as a Cyber Risk Advisor, I have to warn the public to discourage such blatant irresponsible activity and refrain from responding to the ad.
Naavi
