Recruitment fraud is when scammers fabricate job opportunities at real companies to trick individuals into revealing personal information. They do so by requesting a phony interview or convincing individuals that they have a job offer. These bogus interview requests and job offers are accompanied by requests for payment and/or sensitive personal information such as bank account information, credit card numbers, social security numbers and other information with the intent of committing identity theft.
Scammers have posed as representatives from Tighe & Bond to gather this information, and Tighe & Bond’s logo, job descriptions, employment documents and benefits information have been used to trick people. In some cases, the scammers take on the name of real hiring managers or members of the leadership team. Here are some tips on Tighe & Bond’s hiring process:
- Emails sent from Tighe & Bond always end in @tighebond.com
- All Tighe & Bond employment opportunities are listed on our website; applicants apply for positions through our career portal
- Hiring managers interview candidates by phone, Microsoft Teams, or in-person before any job offer is extended; video interviews will have a hiring manager shown live on video
- Tighe & Bond does not require individuals to release personal data, such as their social security number, tax documents, or banking information, at either the interview or job offer stage
Tighe & Bond treats these fraudulent activities seriously and reports them to law enforcement agencies. If you receive a suspicious interview request or job offer, please contact reportfraud@tighebond.com and include as much detail as possible to assist with the investigation.
If you believe you have been a victim of a crime, please contact the local authorities or the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov. For more information on job scams, visit the Federal Trade Commission at https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/job-scams.
