We are writing to inform you that there are people who are trying to impersonate ShyftUp and use our brand name, logo, and address to fraud people by pretending to recruit for ShyftUp.
To safeguard your privacy and data, we are providing this notice and providing some steps you may take to help protect yourself.
The scam works by impersonating our company, ShyftUp. They would reach out to you and introduce themselves as our representatives. They would usually claim that they are our subsidiary company.
The scams work like this: the fraudster would send you an unsolicited message. They would ask you if you need a job. If they have successfully engaged you, they would ask you to register an account on their website with your phone number.
After that, they would ask you to create a cryptocurrency wallet account, claiming that the crypto account is an important tool to send you your future paychecks. However, they will ask you to send a specific amount of money to your crypto wallet account to activate it and make sure it is working.
Later on, you will discover that your money is gone and you won’t be able to access your account anymore. They would also stop communicating with you and will never respond to your messages.
At ShyftUp, if ever we need to hire new employees, our recruitment processes never require applicants to send any amount of money in any form and on any platform. We sign contracts with all of our employees. We don’t make any payments through cryptocurrency wallets.
