[updated May 2025]
We have recently become aware of fraudulent activity involving individuals impersonating our company to issue fake job opportunities and associated offers. These scams are common and often attempt to extract personal information to steal the identity and/or financial details from unsuspecting individuals.
One example of a fraudulent communication sent to a victim read as follows:
*”Hi [Name],
Hope you are well!
As discussed on the phone, please find attached an NDA for you to sign and return via email.
In your email reply, please attach a signed NDA and provide the requested personal details.
Once we receive this information, we will email you the letter of consent and immunity prepared by the authorities.
Best regards,

In another example, scammers are using YouTube to direct the public to fake employment websites and consultancies.
