Protecting Yourself from Job Scams

Incendia Therapeutics has recently received reports of scammers posting fake job listings and making fraudulent job offers using the Incendia Therapeutics’ name. We are actively working with several job boards to remove these fraudulent postings. If you see a job advertised by Incendia Therapeutics, please note that all valid listings can be found on our official website.

While job scams are unfortunately becoming more common, you can take steps to protect yourself and your personal information:

  • No Fees: Incendia Therapeutics will never ask for money or fees at any point during the interview process. If you are asked to send money, do not proceed.
  • Official Communication: Incendia Therapeutics never conducts initial conversations through applications like Telegram, WhatsApp, or Skype. All communication will begin with an email or phone call from our official channels. If you are asked to download these applications for an interview, do not do so.
  • Verify Listings: All legitimate job openings are posted on our website. While you may find postings on other job boards, for your safety, please verify that the role exists and apply directly through our site. 
  • Official Email Domain: Incendia Therapeutics will only communicate from an official email address. Please be cautious of emails from other sources.

If you believe you have encountered a fake job posting or received a fraudulent offer letter, and especially if you’ve shared personal information, we recommend that you:

  1. Contact Law Enforcement: Notify them if you suspect identity theft. Keep copies of all correspondence related to the fraudulent offer for their investigation.
  2. Notify Your Bank or Credit Card Provider: Inform them that your account may have been compromised.
  3. Report the Scam to Us: Email Incendia Therapeutics at talent@incendiatx.com
  4. Report to the FBI: You can file a complaint via the Internet Crime Complaint Center at https://www.ic3.gov/.
  5. Report to the FTC: Use the following link to report fraud: https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/.
  6. Identity Theft Reporting: If you’ve shared personal information, report it at https://www.identitytheft.gov/#/.

Stay vigilant and protect your information!
