Job Search FRAUD

Unfortunately, scammers sometimes try to take advantage of job seekers to steal money or personal information.  Job seekers should be skeptical when they see red flags like these:

• Use of Gmail, Yahoo, or other generic email services
• Use of services like Telegram for interviews
• Job offers made very quickly, without much screening
• Requests for personal identification info (like SSN) for reasons other than background check or completion of I-9 form
• Payment by check BEFORE work is completed (or check cashing as part of the work tasks)

If you are in doubt about a suspicious contact for interview or job offer, you are more than welcome to reach out to Leslie via email or Slack.  We can work together to quickly determine if you should continue contact with this person.
