Good evening,

I just applied for a position, and I am being asked to provide my bank account details, a photocopy of my ID card, and proof of address to be on the list of applicants. Is this completely normal? It's my first application, so I'm wary about the bank details... :/

    Hello

    A bank account details and everything else to be on a list of applicants?!!
    Applicant for what, by the way?

    I don't know where you found this ad, but personally, I only provided all these documents after the employment contract was signed.
    For me, this isn't very clear.

    Regards

      +1 it smells like a scam...

      This kind of document is only given to the HR department after signing the employment contract...

      Okay for temp agencies, but right now we don't even know what to apply for and where...

      Indeed, if it's a temp agency, then yes, the request is normal, the same goes for a boss or an HR manager, but aside from that, one must remain cautious.

    I found the ad online, and I only spoke with the contact for the job via email

    it smells like a scam all over the place.

    make sure to do your research very, very, very well before

    Hello,

    Bank details + copy of ID + proof of address = identity theft.

    If I were you, the only response to give would be:
    "I will provide you with these documents upon signing my contract."

    But don't get your hopes up, the RCS number doesn't exist, so there's no registered company...

    Response from the SIRENE directory (listing all companies): There are no results for your search. Please check the numbers you entered or refine your search.

    Best regards,
    Franck

      +1 that’s clear, right from the start that’s also what I was thinking, which is why you always have to stay cautious

      I often use Infogreffe for checks, but it’s surprising to see that many don’t know what a siren/siret/RCS number is... it’s clearly visible on all invoices.

        Yes.
        At the same time, it's not obvious. If you've never done research on starting a business, or haven't asked yourself the question, it remains an unintelligible and completely useless string of numbers on your phone bill... A bill that you now just check the amount of via SMS or the Internet...

        I would add that the SIREN/SIRET/RCS number is mandatory for any legal entity to be able to invoice a good or service. Whether it’s a business, an association, or a website...

        Let’s just mention one example:
        The site CommentCaMarche.net is published by:

        Quidea,
        69/71 Avenue Pierre Grenier - 92517 Boulogne-Billancourt

      Yes, and at the same time, I always remain curious; I do quite a bit of personal research and I'm interested in all things... and it's true that my basic training made me aware of the RCS, etc...

      I always use Infogreffe for the "pro" ads on Leboncoin or eBay, if only to verify that the company exists.

      Well, I'm not sure everyone understands it well... When you see the number of people who continue to get scammed despite the endlessly reiterated cautionary advice on the net or in the media...

      It seems that the contact of a keyboard on the fingers inhibits the brain's functioning

      In any case, good reflex on the part of cielle94 to ask the question BEFORE! in case of doubt...

    Yes, that's normal, don't worry ;-) The bank details are so they can make a transfer to an account when you've worked. But it has nothing to do with the credit card number ^^

    And the proof of address is because you probably still live with your parents, right?

      Yes, usually you can find the bank account details (RIB) on your online bank account if you have one. It's just a PDF to print out ;-)

      Hello,

      I'm somewhat of the same opinion as durock, I've always provided this kind of document after the contract or once the hiring is done.

      Otherwise, you also have a bank account details in the checkbooks, if you have one of course.

      See you later!

      Meh...

      I hope it's not to transfer money from one account to another or...
      Because that can be a real pain in the ass.

      Or it could be a nonexistent company... basically, you won’t get paid
      or identity theft or...

    Hello

    This is sensitive information, a bank account details ??!

      Hello Pierre the beaver,

      On a bank account statement, there are your bank details, but it can also include your first name, last name, and address.
      If you give your bank account statement, no one will be able to steal your money.
      However, with the bank account statement, a copy of your ID card, and a proof of address, identity theft is almost guaranteed.

      Oh yes, okay, I hadn't seen that aspect.

      So indeed, it's sensitive information, but no more than a person's civil status?

      Hello,

      As a victim of identity theft (money withdrawn from a postal account with fake documents), I would recommend being very careful, indeed.
      Afterwards, it wasn't with a direct debit but rather with a bank statement.

      If you didn't personally give your consent for this withdrawal, then it's the bank's fault, isn't it?

      I don’t know what one can do with a person's civil status...
      I'm not a scammer!
      But still, the complete civil status: LAST NAME, First Names, date and place of birth, address, these are confidential data that I wouldn’t trust to just anyone.
