Audience / at-risk group

Job seekers and professionals contacted by recruiters

What you can notice

  • The outreach email, received on 12 October 2026, came from a Gmail address in the company's name, not from the site's own domain. It summarised the recipient's public professional profile and named no employer and no position.
  • The site's payment page reads: "Please enter the exact payment amount provided by your Circle Global Recruitment representative."
  • Services offered to candidates on that page: New Resume Writing $995; Resume Rewrite $300, $500 or $700; Cover Letter $300. Payments go through Paystack, a Nigerian payment gateway, and the currencies include the Nigerian naira.
  • The refund policy states that fees are non-refundable once the "service" has started.
  • The site names no company, registration number or address. The domain was about 100 days old when analysed.

The takeaway

Genuine recruiters are paid by the employer, never by the candidate. A flattering message that knows your CV but names no job, followed by a fee for rewriting your CV, is the pattern of a recruitment scam. Do not pay to be considered for a job.

What the source reports

Desenmascara publishes circleglobalrecruitment.com as Fraudulent after a manual review on 12 October 2026, with verbatim fragments of the payment and refund pages as public evidence. Follow the report for the full record and any later correction.

What this evidence cannot tell us

This case documents the site's own pages and one unsolicited message; it does not prove customer losses or identify the operator. The Gmail address is not published on the site, so the link between the message and the domain rests on the company name and on the site's payment page relying on a "representative" who contacts candidates. If the source withdraws the verdict, this case is withdrawn too.
