Guess we’ve made it big

We heard someone out there is using fake job offers from us for a phishing scam. Wishing them bad vibes, but also wanted to share a few tips on how to stay safe.

1. We keep it direct when it comes to recruitment: our hiring communications will always come from a @marinelayer.com account
2. Double check the email address: most hiring messages come from either [email protected] and [email protected]
3. If someone’s asking you to buy supplies for your first day, it’s not us. (We’d hook you up with that that)
4. We will never ask for personal information before onboarding. Keep that to yourself.

Just follow these four steps, watch out for sketchy links, and you too can ruin a scammer’s day.

Keep it safe out there!
