Banken: Fake-Stellenanzeige suchte neuen CEO für die ING Bank
Mehrere Stunden kursierte auf LinkedIn eine gefälschte Ausschreibung, die Ersatz für den amtierenden Vorstandschef der Direktbank zu suchen schien. Das Inserat fand offenbar regen Anklang.
An unusual fake job advertisement for a "Group Chief Executive Officer" at ING Deutschland appeared on the LinkedIn career network for several hours on Friday, garnering interest from 25 applicants. However, the position was quickly debunked as fraudulent by the bank, stating it was neither authorized nor commissioned by the ING.
The bank confirmed the ad was flagged and removed from LinkedIn as misuse. The incident was first noticed by the financial news service "Finanz-Szene," who highlighted a minor detail in the fake advertisement: the title "Group Chief Executive Officer" does not exist within the company. ING Deutschland's CEO, Lars Stoy, holds the title of Chief Executive Officer, without the addition of "Group." The bank is currently investigating the incident and in communication with LinkedIn.
