The Talent team at Owner has recently become aware of phishing attempts by scammers posing as Owner employees in an effort to access candidates’ personal and financial information. Please note that any communication from our hiring team regarding job opportunities will only be made by an Owner employee with an @owner.com email address. We will never ask you to provide personal or financial information, including but not limited to: your social security number, credit card numbers, passport information and/or other related banking information. If you believe you are being contacted by scammer, please mark the communication as "phishing" or “spam” and do not respond. Job hunting and interviewing is hard enough for candidates, and we are frustrated that job seekers are being targeted and exploited in this way. 

We are aware of an ongoing phishing attempt related to job opportunities at 11:59 and are actively working to address it. While we are indeed recruiting for these roles, it has come to our attention that someone is impersonating 11:59 regarding job opportunities. Please note that official communications from 11:59’s Talent Acquisition Team will always originate from an email address ending in @1159.ai. Any variations of these addresses should be thoroughly examined before engaging. Emails from similar domains, such as @1159ai.com, @elevenfiftyninecareers.com, or @1159careers.com, are not associated with 11:59. Additionally, be aware that phishing scammers can create “sender display names” containing valid information to appear legitimate. Therefore, it is advisable to always verify that the actual email address of the sender matches @1159.ai.

🔒 Cybersecurity Alert: Protect Yourself from Job Scams! 🔒 Job searching is hard enough, right? As I've been entrenched in the job search, I've recently encountered a concerning uptick in cyber threats targeting job seekers like me. It's disheartening to see how fraudsters exploit our eagerness for career advancement, but staying informed and vigilant is our best defense. Recently, I've noticed a troubling trend of deceptive emails and scams masquerading as recruiters who are trying to set up an interview. These scammers often prey on our trust, enticing us with promising prospects. And boy they seem real because they're well written and free of typos. However, beneath the surface often lies a web of deceit aimed at compromising our personal information and even extorting money. One such example was when a recruiter contacted me (and I could verify the person's name as a real recruiter) telling me my resume wasn't ATS ready and to go to this site (CMS Resumes) to upload and then get a new version by paying via Venmo or Paypal. Amidst the excitement of potential opportunities, I urge you to remain cautious and discerning. Let's not allow our aspirations to blind us to the red flags of phishing attempts and fraudulent schemes. I hope those out there like me can navigate the job market with confidence and resilience, while safeguarding their cybersecurity every step of the way. #Cybersecurity #JobSeekers #StaySafeOnline

Our Information Security team are working with third parties to close down the threat actors' operation. Please check senders details carefully and never click a link until you are satisfied that it is from a sender you know. Find out how to protect yourself: https://lnkd.in/epK8U5g7

Don't Get Caught in the Net of Recruiter Phishing: Tips to Stay Safe Greetings, LinkedIn community! Today, I want to shed light on a sneaky tactic that has been making the rounds in the world of recruitment - "recruiter phishing." Yes, you heard it right! Just like how phishers try to lure unsuspecting individuals into their traps, some unscrupulous individuals have been using similar tactics to target job seekers. So, what exactly is recruiter phishing, and how can you protect yourself? Let's dive in! Recruiter phishing involves scammers posing as legitimate recruiters or HR professionals to trick job seekers into sharing sensitive information or even money. These scammers often use fake job postings, emails, or LinkedIn messages to make their approach seem genuine. They may ask for personal details, bank information, or even payment for job opportunities that don't exist. Now, you might be thinking, "How can I spot these phishing attempts?" Well, fear not! Here are some tips to help you stay safe: 1. Verify, Verify, Verify: Before sharing any personal information or engaging with a recruiter, take the time to research their company and verify their credentials. Legitimate recruiters will have a professional online presence and won't hesitate to provide you with more information about their organization. 2. Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off or too good to be true, it probably is. Listen to your gut and be cautious when sharing sensitive information, especially if you haven't had a face-to-face meeting with the recruiter. 3. Don't Click on Suspicious Links: Phishing emails often contain malicious links that can compromise your data. Avoid clicking on any links or downloading attachments from unknown sources. 4. Report Suspicious Activity: If you encounter a potential phishing attempt, report it to the platform or website where you received the message. By doing so, you not only protect yourself but also help prevent others from falling victim to the scam. Remember, your safety and security should always come first, even in the competitive world of job hunting. Stay vigilant, trust your instincts, and don't let the phishers reel you in! Together, we can create a safer and more secure job market for all. Let's outsmart the phishers and continue on our career paths with confidence and resilience. Stay safe, stay informed, and happy job hunting!

Finding your dream job is tough enough without dodging scam artists! 🎣 I recently had a close call, and it reminded me how important it is to be vigilant. Here's what happened: A recruiter contacted me about a role that seemed perfect. Everything looked legit – professional website, well-crafted emails, even a scheduled interview. But during the call, something felt off. 🚩 I decided to reach out to the recruiter on LinkedIn...and discovered it was a fake! Thankfully, I dodged a bullet, but it could have been disastrous. One red flag I learned: 🚩 Unrealistic urgency. If you're being pressured to act fast ("limited positions," "need your resume ASAP"), be suspicious.
