How the Scams Work

Scammers may:

• Copy and repost legitimate Synchrony job postings, redirecting applicants to fraudulent websites or contacts.
• Impersonate actual Synchrony employees or representatives.
• Misrepresent themselves as authorized Synchrony recruiters or hiring managers.
• Attempt to obtain personal or financial information, including Social Security numbers, banking information, or direct deposit details.
• Send fraudulent documents that appear to be official Synchrony communications, including fake offer letters and employment agreements.

Warning Signs to Watch For

To protect yourself during your job search, please be aware of the following:

• Verify all job opportunities through Synchrony’s official Careers page: https://synchronygroup.com/careers/.
• Be cautious of websites, email addresses, or job listings that appear suspicious or mimic Synchrony branding.
• Synchrony does not conduct interviews through online chat platforms.
• Synchrony will never ask candidates to deposit a check, transfer funds, or make payments as part of the recruitment process.
• Synchrony will never request credit card information or require candidates to install payment applications, such as Cash App, during the hiring process.
