Job Interview Phishing Scam Notice

Overseas fraudsters and scammers can impersonate a company in an attempt to gain access to your personal information, including bank account details, and to fraudulently conduct business with others. We’ve been alerted to people targeting other Marketing Firms and impersonating employees to conduct fake interviews over Telegram, WhatsApp, Skype, email, various messaging apps, and third-party employment sites like Monster, Upwork, and RemoteHub.

While Funnel Boost Media conducts much of the hiring process virtually at the moment due to Covid-19, please note that we will only contact you via verified funnelboostmedia.net email addresses for email correspondence, sending calendar invites, and video conferencing.

If you have received correspondence from someone claiming to represent Funnel Boost Media, be aware that:

  • Funnel Boost Media DOES NOT hire outside agencies
  • Funnel Boost Media DOES NOT conduct any employment interviews or business over Telegram, Whats App, Skype chats, Google Chat, or direct messages.
  • Funnel Boost Media DOES NOT use generic email addresses (such as outlook.com, hotmail.com, or gmail.com) to communicate whatsoever.
  • Funnel Boost Media NEVER asks for bank details or to open new accounts or wire money.
 

When in doubt, only reply to @funnelboostmedia.net email addresses, and don’t hesitate to verify with us who you are communicating with. To do this, or if you have any other questions, please contact support [@] funnelboostmedia.net for more information
