Designblendz is monitoring an increased frequency of recruitment fraud. Unscrupulous individuals are contacting job seekers and pretending to represent Designblendz or specific persons at Designblendz.

These fraudsters use emails, texts, letters, faxes, and phone calls to make false offers of employment with Designblendz or to provide services related to employment (assistance in obtaining visa, travel arrangements, job training, proof of identity, etc.).

The offers, which appear to be legitimate and may use Designblendz' logo, often include specific details about a job description and related information such as salary, benefits, training, and a start date. The offers are often accompanied by requests for payment and/or sensitive personal information such as bank account information, credit card number, passport number, or other information that could be used to commit identity theft.

If you are seeking employment with Designblendz, you should guard against recruitment fraud and pay close attention to these key facts:

• Neither Designblendz nor our authorized third-party recruiting partners will ever ask for payments of any kind. Designblendz does not collect personal banking, passport, visa, or other sensitive personal data as part of the recruitment process. You should never send money or personal details to anyone suggesting they can provide employment with Designblendz.
• Legitimate emails from Designblendz end in @designblendz.com
• Messages from fraudsters often come from webmail addresses such as gmail.com, hotmail.com and yahoo.com, or from addresses that incorporate part of a company’s name, such as designblendzcorporation.com or designblendz-hr.com. Do not trust information provided to you from any domain name other than @designblendz.com
• Before making an employment offer, Designblendz will always invite prospective candidates, either by phone or email from a legitimate Designblendz email account, to a formal interview, either virtual or in-person.
• Messages from fraudsters often contain spelling and grammatical errors.
• If you receive unsolicited or suspicious offers of employment from Designblendz, or simply want to verify the authenticity of an offer from Designblendz, you are advised to immediately stop all communication with this individual and forward the unedited email message or details of the offer to info@designblendz.com.
