Beware of Job Offer Scams

We’ve seen a rise in phishing scams where cybercriminals claiming to represent Paylocity request an interview or even extend a job offer. If you are contacted about a position at Paylocity, take these steps to protect your personal information.

Phishing scams can come through email, text, or phone.

Look for these red flags:

  1. The email address is different from our legitimate address (name@mail.paylocity.com vs. name@paylocity.com).
  2. Your interview is supposedly with a Paylocity executive. 
  3. You’re asked to download an attachment and/or provide private information, such as your bank account. 
  4. You’re asked to pay a fee and/or offered money or reimbursement before or after your interview. 
  5. The sender insists on immediate action. 
  6. The email contains misspellings or grammatical errors.
