What else to be aware of? Scammers are typically contacting people through email, phone or chat applications. Sometimes the initial contact is via email and then through a chat application such as WhatsApp. Job offers might sound urgent, almost like the person has been pre-selected for a chosen position. And the job seeker is required to provide money for training with the promise of the payment being returned.
As part of our hiring process, we never request payment or send reimbursement checks. We also don’t solicit bank account details, tax forms, credit card information, or copies of government-issued identification.
If you believe you have been exposed to a scam, please email HR-TalentAcquisition@americancentury.com. Also, report the fraudulent activity to the site where the fake job posting appeared and/or the platform through which you were contacted.
