INSTEP has been made aware of unauthorised individuals or organisations falsely using the PETRONAS name in emails and INSTEP name in offer letter in an attempt to enrol Petroleum Technology Programme (PTP-2) trainees on behalf of PETRONAS and INSTEP. INSTEP wishes to stress that it has not authorised such e-mail based enrolment. PTP-2 was discontinued in 2011 and the red INSTEP logo on the offer letter was obsolete. Thus INSTEP appeals to the public not to respond to the e-mail or any such emails. There are a few quick ways to recognise fraud:

• Email communication on programme enrolment from PETRONAS or INSTEP, if any, would be sent by PETRONAS’ and INSTEP’s officials using only e-mail domain of @petronas.com.
• On-line programme enrolment portal is https://www.instep.my/Pages/default.aspx and those who wish to seek enrolment with INSTEP are advised to visit only this portal.
• No money transfers or payments of any kind will EVER be requested from applicants nor by PETRONAS or INSTEP or any of the agencies that recruit on our behalf, at any point in the enrolment process, or any other purpose.

Should you experience any of the foregoing, please treat the communication as fraudulent and forward it to instep@petronas.com
