MongoDB has been informed of a pattern of fraudulent job offers from agencies and individuals who pretend to be associated with MongoDB, but are not. 

Specifically, some individuals have been targeted via email, WhatsApp, and other messaging platforms, falsely offering work with MongoDB and requesting payments for training, equipment, travel, product reviews, or other false expenses. 

How can I tell if an offer of employment is genuine?

If you’ve received an offer of employment from MongoDB, your official offer letter and all other related documents will 

  come directly from a MongoDB recruiter using an @mongodb.com email address.

Fraudulent emails are often sent from free, web-based email accounts (e.g., Gmail.com, Yahoo.com, Outlook.com) rather than from an 

 domain. Messages may appear to be from a MongoDB executive or recruiter, but if the domain is not @mongodb.com, it is not legitimate. Fraudsters can also frequently ask to connect via

 WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, or other unofficial messaging services.

 Communications often create urgency and pressure you to act quickly.

Never pay or transfer money to secure a role with or perform work for MongoDB.

Do not engage with individuals claiming to represent MongoDB who ask for money from you.

Be cautious when sharing personal information online to protect yourself from identity theft or other risks.
