Fraudulent Job Offer Warning

Wednesday, May 14, 2025 10:51:00 AM
We are aware that fraudulent job offers company impersonators and bogus recruiters are circulating online. These scams often involve requests for personal information, money, or equipment. 
 
Key Warning Signs:
  • Unsolicited offers
    Be wary of job offers you did not apply for or actively seek.
     
  • Vague or unclear job descriptions
    Fraudulent offers often lack details about the role, responsibilities, or required skills.
     
  • Excessive or unusual requests
    Be suspicious of requests for financial information, bank details, or the purchase of equipment early in the process.
     
  • Unprofessional communication
    Scammers may use poor grammar, spelling errors, or outdated company logos in their communications.
     
  • Immediate job offers without interviews
    Legitimate companies typically conduct interviews and vetting processes before making job offers.
     
  • High pay for little effort
    Offers of exceptionally high pay with minimal work requirements are often scams. 
How to Protect Yourself:
  • Verify the legitimacy of the offer
    Research the company and the recruiter online. Check for social media presence and other contact information.
     
  • Never share personal information
    Do not provide sensitive details like your Social Security number, bank account details, or birthdate until you are certain the offer is legitimate.
     
  • Do not make financial requests
    Legitimate employers do not ask for money to cover recruitment costs or equipment purchases.
     
  • Report suspected fraudulent offers
    Report any suspicious offers to our HR department or relevant authorities, such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
