These fraudsters are (still) managers of companies with fake temps

Hi, thanks as always I read techcrunch. We want to talk to you urgently about something important.

This huge growth in imitating journalists and events brings and reaches out to companies, arguing to be our employees when they don’t have them. These market participants are using our name and reputation to make undisclosed business attempts. It drives us crazy and gives us a reason for you. It has ebbs and flows. Compared to the number of emails we receive, asking, “Does this person work for you?” It seems to be happening more and more.

Anecdote, this does not happen to us; Fraudsters are using the stigma that comes with established labels to get their foot in the door with fashion companies.

Here are some examples of the most common scams we’ve been tracking: imposters who impersonate our journalists in order to extract business information from obscure channels. In several cases we know about, fraudsters have taken the information that they know very well, they are building what appears to be the media by asking about the company and asking for a call.

Face-to-face recipients sometimes make selections in emails that don’t match the employee’s profile (see list of bogus email addresses below). But these attitudes change quickly; The fraudsters put their skills, the design of the journalists, and control them the basics that make their pits feel satisfied. And equally distressing, victims who agree to phone conversations tell us of scams that use the same exchange of information. Pr rep he told Axios That someone writing as a techncyn journalist woke up when he complained after sharing a scredive link.

Why are they doing this? We don’t know, although the reasonable assumption is that these are groups looking for an online startup opportunity or other information. In fact, colleagues at Yahoo say that this is related to the risks that have been following the events in the old account (ato) and other companies using different temports.

As for what to do about it, if someone comes up with Techcrnch and you have a small part unless they’re legitimate, please don’t just take their word for it. We have made it easy for you to confirm.

Start by looking Techcrunch website. It’s a quick way to see if the person contacting you works here. If a person’s name is not on our protey, you have your answer right there.

If you see someone’s name on our staff page, but our job description doesn’t match what you want to receive (for example, a technnly editor likes to study your business!)

If it seems like a legitimate request but you want to be sure, you should feel free to contact them directly and just ask. You can learn how to reach any author, editor, marketer, marketing Guru group, and many other activities in our forums.

We know it’s frustrating to have to double check, but these groups count so you don’t have to do another round. By staying vigilant for verification, you’re not only protecting your company – you’re also helping the credibility that the legal profession relies on to operate.

Thank you. And for your future reference, here’s a list of some of the techcronch mockups we’ve seen built over the last few months:
