Primefocus Health has been made aware of a phishing scam where con artists are posing as recruiters or hiring managers for prominent companies using email, text messages and social media to access personal information of potential applicants. In this scam, fake recruiters are creating misleading email addresses, conducting remote interviews and extending fraudulent job offers to collect personal and financial information. This type of fraud is normally carried out through online services such as fake websites or through fake email addresses claiming to be from the company. Here's what you should know to help protect your information from scammers : Authentic email addresses use the primefocushealth.com domain. Always take precautions when sharing personal information. We will never require personal banking information in the recruiting / interview process. We will never require an application processing fee or require other payment for recruiting services.
