I received an email from the Red Cross, but I didn’t apply for a job. Is the email legitimate or a scam/phishing?
The American Red Cross does not send out emails to anyone who has not already applied online to a specific job posting on our careers website. If you have received an email offering you a job at Red Cross without previously applying for a job, please be aware that it is a scam/phishing email. It is a federal crime for a person to pose as a Red Cross representative for the purpose of fraudulently soliciting, collecting, or receiving money or material. If you receive a scam/phishing email supposedly from Red Cross, please report it to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Internet Crimes (IC3) Unit. The Red Cross urges people to not provide any personal or financial information to unknown individuals.
