Job Fraud Avoidance Tips

Protecting Yourself from Job Posting Scams

Recently, we’ve learned of bad actors impersonating Springboard Health team members and advertising fake job opportunities online. These scammers often attempt to collect personal, financial, or login information under the pretense of a legitimate hiring process. Your safety matters and staying informed is the best defense. To ensure that you can easily distinguish authentic Springboard Health communication from fraudulent outreach, we encourage you to read the following tips.

How Job Fraud Scams Usually Work

Fraudsters often use strategies designed to create urgency or excitement. While each scam is different, many follow a predictable pattern:

  • Posting unofficial job listings on third party sites or social media.
  • Contacting individuals directly through email, text, WhatsApp, or social platforms while pretending to be Springboard Health recruiters.
  • Pressuring you to provide personal and private information about yourself.
  • Requesting personal information early in the “hiring” process (e.g., Social Security numbers, banking details, or copies of IDs)
  • Asking candidates to pay for equipment, software, background checks, or training materials.
  • Using look alike email addresses, fake logos, or messaging that feels rushed or unprofessional.

Recognizing these red flags helps you stay a step ahead.

Springboard Health Will Never:

  • Conduct interviews exclusively via messaging apps or text messaging.
  • Ask for money, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or payment of any kind at any stage of the hiring process.
  • Ask for protected personal information, sensitive data, or account login details through chat apps, social media, or other informal platforms.
  • Ask you to move discussions about a job opportunity to chat platforms such as WhatsApp or Telegram.
  • Use personal email accounts to communicate about job opportunities (such as Outlook.com, Yahoo.com, Gmail.com, etc.).
  • Pressure you to make a quick decision about sharing private information.
  • Request that you purchase equipment or software upfront.

 

How to Verify a Recruiter is Legitimate:

Springboard Health is part of the Ingenovis Health family of brands, including: Fastaff, Trustaff, HealthCare Support, USN, Vista Staffing, VitalSolution, and Corazon Inc. Official correspondence will only come from one of the following domains:

  • EXAMPLE@springboardhealthcare.com
  • EXAMPLE@ingenovishealth.com
  • EXAMPLE@fastaff.com
  • EXAMPLE@trustaff.com
  • EXAMPLE@healthcaresupport.com
  • EXAMPLE@usn.com
  • EXAMPLE@vistastaff.com
  • EXAMPLE@vitalsolution.com
  • EXAMPLE@corazoninc.com

Be sure to double check domain spelling to avoid fraud, like EXAMPLE@springboardhealthcaree.com. Did you catch the extra “E” at the end of the domain?

Has a Scammer Contacted You?

If you suspect fraudulent activity:

  • Do not respond, share any personal information, or open any attachments from a suspected scammer. It’s always a bad idea to exchange messages with scammers.
  • Take screenshots of the communication. This information can help us warn others about potential scams.
