Recruitment fraud notice.
Scammers pose as recruiters to take money and steal identities. Here's how to tell a real message from Greenbriar & Russell, and what to do with a fake one.
How we contact you
When we email you, it comes from an address ending in @greenbriarrussell.com. Nothing else. Messages from free email accounts or look-alike domains are not from us.
If someone reaches you by phone, LinkedIn or any other channel and says they work with Greenbriar & Russell, verify by email before you share anything.
What we will never do
- Ask you for money for any reason. Candidates never pay a fee of any kind.
- Ask for your bank account, credit card or Social Security number.
- Interview you by text message, Telegram, WhatsApp or any other chat app.
- Ask you to install an app or software, or to buy equipment and get reimbursed later.
- Send you a check to deposit or ask you to move money for anyone.
A real employer will need some personal details after you accept an offer, through its own hiring paperwork. We never collect them.
Warning signs
- A job offer with no real interview, or an interview held entirely by chat.
- Pressure to decide fast or keep the process secret.
- Pay that seems out of line with the role.
- An email address that is close to ours but not exact, such as an extra letter or a different ending.
- Any request for payment, gift cards, equipment purchases or account access.
How to verify a message
Email corey@greenbriarrussell.com. Type the address yourself instead of replying to the message you received, and forward the message along with your note. You'll hear back within one business day on whether it came from us.
Where to report fraud
- Federal Trade Commission: reportfraud.ftc.gov
- FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center: ic3.gov
If you shared bank or card details, call your bank right away. If you shared your Social Security number, IdentityTheft.gov has steps to protect yourself.
Then let us know at corey@greenbriarrussell.com. It helps us warn others.
