RECOGNIZING RECRUITING FRAUD
A Note on Your Safety: Recognizing Recruiting Fraud
Unfortunately, scammers sometimes impersonate legitimate staffing and recruiting firms, including ITAC, to try to steal personal information or money from job-seekers. We want you to know what to expect from us so you can spot the difference.
ITAC will never ask you to:
- Provide your Social Security number, bank account details, or other sensitive personal information during an initial conversation
- Pay a fee of any kind to apply, interview, or work with us
- Accept payment in cryptocurrency or gift cards
- Communicate exclusively through text message or apps like WhatsApp or Telegram
- Purchase equipment or supplies before starting a job
- Deposit a check and send part of it back to us or a third party
How to verify you’re talking to ITAC
All legitimate email communication from ITAC recruiters comes from an address ending in @itacsolutions.com. Treat any communication from a different domain claiming to represent ITAC with suspicion.
Warning signs of a scam
- Unsolicited job offers with no interview
- Contact from a generic email address (e.g., Gmail or Yahoo) rather than an official ITAC address
- Pressure to act quickly or provide information before you’ve had a real conversation with someone
- Poor spelling, grammar, or vague job descriptions
- A request to communicate only by text or chat app
If something feels off, trust that instinct
If you suspect someone is posing as an ITAC employee or misusing our name, please contact us directly at help@itacsolutions.com / 205-326-0004 so we can look into it. You can also report suspected job scams to the Federal Trade Commission or file an incident report with the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center.
