Scam Impacting Honda New Zealand

Honda has recently been alerted to the fact that fake employment offers have been made in Honda's name through various communication channels.

These are scams and the use of the Honda name and logo is unauthorized and illegal.
These fraudulent employment scams are created to access payments, personal information, and bank account details, therefore the scammers take great care to appear legitimate in the following ways: The letters/documents, websites, and employment ads use the Honda name or logo. They include email or website addresses, which have the word Honda in them, use actual Honda address locations, and often have letters or documents signed (falsely) in the name of real Honda employees, or people pretending to be.

Should you have any concerns about the authenticity of any Honda job offer, please submit a copy of the offer to or visit our careers page on the website.
