Job scams are
on the rise

Here's how to stay safe in
your job search

We're here to help you identify
and report job fraud.

Sadly, it’s true... job scams are on the rise.

We’re disappointed and frankly, outraged that cyber-criminals are impersonating TTEC and our team members in their pursuit of scamming people who are just trying to find a new job.

Think you’ve been scammed or found a potential TTEC impersonator? We want to know and are offering some advice on how you can protect yourself and others.

Report your fraud to TTEC

Think you've been scammed?

These are the potential ways cybercriminals will try to scam people looking for new jobs:

Fake ads
Uses @gmail or other public email account
Asking you to Direct Message or Email from a social media feed talking about jobs
Ask to fully interview via text, Telegram or Google Hangouts
Offer of employment without having spoken with a recruiter
Asks for money to be sent to pay for your computer equipment
Will offer to send a check for you to deposit to pay for your computer equipment
Ask for you to share personal information like SSN, birth date, or bank account, passwords before you ever speak to a recruiter or have a legitimate offer of employment
Ask you for your login information for social accounts
Sends you to a career website other than the official company site (in our case, TTECjobs.com or TeleTechJobs.com)
Uses the name of a prominent executive that is not in recruiting organization (check it out on LinkedIn)

TeleTech is now TTEC. You may have received communications from TeleTech in the past - and we wanted to let you know that TeleTech is now TTEC - all the same rules above apply - when in doubt, head straight to TTECjobs.com for our legitimate job openings.

Steps to take

Report incident to TTEC
Report to local law enforcement
If you provided your bank account information or deposited a check, notify your bank, consider putting a fraud alert on your account, and a personal identity protection&service.
If you were contacted through a career website, a classified ad, or social media, make a report to that organization.

You are interviewed before you are sent an offer letter
You will find the real job on our website at TTECjobs.com (or TeleTechJobs.com)

What will TTEC never do or ask me to do?

TTEC will never:

Ask you to transfer or wire money
Ask you to pay for recruitment-related expenses
Ask you to interview in Google Hangouts or Telegram or other online public domains
Send you an email from any address that doesn't have @ttec.com or @teletech.com in the domain name

As a job seeker, what should I be on the lookout for in a job description?

Online job search engine FlexJobs.com recommends asking yourself a few questions when responding to an online job opportunity:

Is the hiring company’s name listed in the job listing?
Do you need to pay to get the job, buy supplies, or invest in the company?
Does the job listing sound too good to be true?
Does the company ask you to engage in a transaction on their behalf as a requirement for getting the job?
Does the language used in the posting sound odd or strangely written?
Does the name, email, or website of the recruiter or job posting match up the actual company’s info?
Do you have a bad gut feeling?

What if I feel I’ve been deceived by someone using the TTEC name?

If you feel you’ve been deceived, we first recommend that you share this with your local law enforcement agency. Then, please do let us know by reporting the incident here and we will do our best to investigate and shut down the perpetrator so that others do not suffer the same fate. And remember, we value every applicant who decides they'd like to work with us at TTEC.
