Instances of Fraudulent Job Offers

It has recently been brought to our attention that there have been instances of fraudulent job offers, purporting to be from PineBridge Investments or its affiliate companies. The individuals or organizations sending these false employment offers may pose as a PineBridge recruiter or human resources representative and request personal information, purchasing of equipment or funds to further the recruitment process. They may even provide documentation in furtherance of their fraudulent attempts.

How to Identify if the Offer Received Was Made by PineBridge:

Here are a few ways to identify whether the offer you may have received is from PineBridge Investments:

PineBridge applicants are required to apply via our official company and affiliate country websites (career site or campus site ). Any request to apply to a job that does not lead back to one of these sites is likely to be fraudulent.

Hiring process related travel will be booked through our travel agency at our expense and at our direction. If you are being asked to pay to book travel as a part of an interview process, it is likely to be fraudulent.

PineBridge only utilizes PineBridge.com domains for email accounts ([email protected]). Any contact by an email that does not use exactly that domain is likely fraudulent.

During the selection process we will require one or more interviews that are conducted either face-to-face or virtually with employees of the company. Any offer of employment that is unsolicited or does not involve an interview process is likely fraudulent.

PineBridge does not ask the applicant for information related to bank accounts, credit cards, or other financial accounts prior to a signed, official offer letter of employment. If you are being asked for this information earlier in the process, it is likely a fraudulent request.

How to Report a Fraudulent Offer:

You may report any such behavior via [email protected] . If you have been defrauded or suspect identify theft as a result of an employment scam, please contact your local law enforcement agency for guidance.
