If you believe a company using Spark Hire may not be legitimate, we encourage you to report it to us immediately.

Warning signs to watch for

While every situation is different, you may want to exercise additional caution if you encounter any of the following:

• Requests for sensitive information, such as your Social Security number, bank account information, credit card details, passwords, or other personal documents early in the process
• Requests to pay for training, application processing, equipment, or any other fees
• A job offer without an interview or after very little communication
• Poorly written communications, vague job descriptions, or inconsistent company information
• Emails sent from addresses that don't appear to belong to the company or use misspelled domain names

These are examples of potential warning signs only. They are not an exhaustive list and should not be considered legal, security, or fraud prevention advice.

What should I do?

If you believe a company using Spark Hire may be suspicious, we recommend that you:

• Stop communicating with the individual or organization until you've verified its legitimacy.
• Do not provide any additional personal or financial information.
• Save any emails, messages, or other communications related to your interactions with the company.
