WARNING: Recruitment scams using ACCUR’s name on Gmail, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, text messages and social media

Updated on March 10th, 2026

We continue to receive reports from candidates who have been contacted by fraudsters falsely using the name of ACCUR Recruiting Services and, in some cases, the identity of real members of our team. Our current warning page already noted reports involving WhatsApp and text messages, including cases reported by candidates in North America.

More recently, we have also been alerted to a more sophisticated variation of this scam. In these cases, scammers may:

• contact candidates from a personal Gmail address that appears to match the name of a real ACCUR consultant
• include or reference the consultant’s real LinkedIn profile
• mention a real company and a realistic executive job opportunity
• send a detailed job description to make the approach appear legitimate
• later ask the candidate to pay for CV rewriting, application support, or other supposed recruiting-related services

Please be extremely cautious. A real LinkedIn profile or a realistic job description does not mean the outreach is genuine.

Warning

Job Applicants, Please Be Alert:

It has come to our attention that individuals are fraudulently using the ACCUR Recruiting Services name, and sometimes the identity of real members of our team, in order to deceive job seekers.

These scams may take different forms. Fraudsters may contact candidates through WhatsApp, text messages, social media, or personal email accounts such as Gmail. In some recent cases, they have used a Gmail address that looks similar to the name of a real ACCUR consultant and have even pointed candidates to that consultant’s legitimate LinkedIn profile. They may also mention a real company, share a detailed job description, and attempt to make the process appear credible.

We want to make the following absolutely clear:

• ACCUR Recruiting Services never asks candidates to pay money for CV rewriting, resume editing, application processing, interview preparation, training, or any other service.
• Official ACCUR email communications come only from email addresses ending in @accurservices.com.
• A message sent from a personal Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, or other non-company email account is not an official ACCUR email, even if it uses the name of one of our consultants.
• The existence of a real LinkedIn profile does not by itself validate an email, message, or job offer.

If you receive any suspicious communication claiming to come from ACCUR Recruiting Services, we strongly encourage you to stop engaging until you verify it directly with us.

If possible, please send us:

• a screenshot of the message
• the sender’s email address
• any phone number used
• the LinkedIn profile URL provided
• the job title and company name mentioned

For any questions, or to verify whether a communication is legitimate, please contact us directly here: [insert contact page link]
You may also reach us through our official website: accurservices.com

Your safety and security are extremely important to us.

Advertencia

Candidatos a empleo, por favor estén alerta:

Hemos sido informados de que algunas personas están utilizando de forma fraudulenta el nombre de ACCUR Recruiting Services y, en algunos casos, la identidad de miembros reales de nuestro equipo, para engañar a candidatos.

Estas estafas pueden tomar distintas formas. Los estafadores pueden contactar a los candidatos por WhatsApp, mensajes de texto, redes sociales o correos personales como Gmail. En algunos casos recientes, han utilizado una dirección de Gmail que parece corresponder al nombre de un consultor real de ACCUR e incluso han dirigido a los candidatos al perfil real de LinkedIn de ese consultor. También pueden mencionar una empresa real, compartir una descripción de puesto detallada y tratar de que el proceso parezca legítimo.

Queremos dejar esto absolutamente claro:

• ACCUR Recruiting Services nunca solicita dinero a los candidatos por reescritura de CV, edición de currículum, procesamiento de candidatura, preparación para entrevistas, capacitación ni por ningún otro servicio.
• Las comunicaciones oficiales por correo electrónico de ACCUR provienen únicamente de direcciones que terminan en @accurservices.com.
• Un mensaje enviado desde una cuenta personal de Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook u otra dirección que no sea corporativa no es un correo oficial de ACCUR, aunque utilice el nombre de uno de nuestros consultores.
• La existencia de un perfil real de LinkedIn no valida por sí sola un correo, mensaje u oferta de empleo.

Si recibe una comunicación sospechosa que dice venir de ACCUR Recruiting Services, le recomendamos encarecidamente que no continúe la conversación hasta verificarla directamente con nosotros.

Si es posible, envíenos:

• una captura de pantalla del mensaje
• la dirección de correo del remitente
• cualquier número de teléfono utilizado
• la URL del perfil de LinkedIn mencionado
• el puesto y el nombre de la empresa indicados

Para cualquier duda, o para verificar si una comunicación es legítima, por favor contáctenos directamente aquí: [insertar enlace de contacto]

Su seguridad es muy importante para nosotros.
