NOTICE TO ALL POTENTIAL JOB CANDIDATES 

We recently have become aware of individuals, unaffiliated with Telesign Corporation, who have been sending out fake employment offers using a name similar to ours, in an apparent attempt to defraud would-be job candidates. In a recent example, a scam email was sent from the @outlook.com domain. All emails sent on behalf of Telesign will come from email addresses ending in @telesign.com. 

Please be advised that Telesign Corporation does not solicit candidates for employment via email - nor do we require or ask for fees or payments during any phase of the recruitment or hiring process. If any person solicits financial information, fees, or payments from you as part of the "recruitment process" or as part of a purported employment offer, you should assume that the communication is not from Telesign Corporation and is not sanctioned or approved by our Company. 

If you have received one of these offers or believe you have been the victim of fraudulent activity via the internet, we would appreciate you filing a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center at the link below:
