Employment Scam Alert
PeaceHealth has been made aware of several fake employment scams impersonating PeaceHealth. These scams usually involve someone claiming to work for PeaceHealth reaching out either via email or phone with an interview request or job offer. Job offers that are not directly extended by a PeaceHealth-employed recruiter are fake, and these scammers are attempting to steal your money or identity. Possible alerts that this may not be legitimate include:
- Contacting you via text message without having had a connection with you prior
- Contacting you from an email address that does not end in peacehealth.org. This includes emails ending in gmail.com, yahoo.com, or other similar addresses
- Contacting you for a job opening for which you did not apply.
- Asking you to pay money upfront to be considered for a job posting.
- Sending you a “virtual check” with instructions to print out and deposit.
- Requesting (or completing) an interview completely online via text message that results in a job offer without a personal conversation with someone.
