We have recently become aware that individuals not associated with R&CPMK have fraudulently used our name, our branding, and in some cases, the names of our employees, to solicit applications for fake jobs, to conduct fake job interviews, and/or to make fake job offers. Any request to schedule an interview and any legitimate offer of employment will only come from an authorized representative of R&CPMK with an email address ending in ‘@rcpmk.com.' We will never require an applicant to provide sensitive personally identifiable information in order to conduct an interview – if an applicant is asked to upload an image of their driver's license or passport, a social security number, credit card or banking information, it is a scam.
