Recruitment scam notice
Someone is running fake job interviews under the name “Doozer Technologies”. They are not connected to DoozerAI and they have no access to our systems or client data. They are using our name. This page sets out what they do, so you can recognise it.
We are not currently hiring. There is no DoozerAI interview to attend, so any job offered in our name is not ours, however convincing it looks.
Beware of lookalike email addresses
When challenged, the fake recruiter may offer to prove they are genuine by asking you to write to another “Doozer” address, such as admin@doozertechnologies.com. That domain is not ours. The reply comes back from the same people, confirming their own story.
Our only email domain is doozer.ai. Anything ending in doozertechnologies.com, doozer-technologies.com, or any other variation is not us, and neither is any address the interviewer supplies as a reference.
What we never do
- We never ask for banking information at any stage of hiring. That includes your bank name, even when the request says it is “only” the name of the bank.
- We never ask which phone carrier you use, or whether your account is prepaid or postpaid.
- We never ask you to buy equipment, and we never send you a cheque or transfer to pay a supplier on our behalf.
- We never ask for money, fees, or gift cards.
- We never run an interview entirely as typed chat messages.
- We are not currently hiring, for these roles or any others. We do not have open positions in administration, data entry, customer service, booking, or appointment support.
How the fake process runs
Reports we have seen follow the same sequence:
- An unsolicited email or Microsoft Teams invite offering an interview with “Doozer Technologies”.
- A text-only interview in Teams chat, from an account using our company name.
- A quick offer: around $30 per hour, a lower training rate, flexible remote hours, and a long list of US benefits.
- Roles named as appointment support, administrative assistant, customer service representative, data entry clerk, data support coordinator, or booking coordinator.
- A list of hardware and software they say they will ship to you, followed by a request for your home address.
- A Microsoft Forms link, titled around “competency-based session / payroll and working schedule”, mixing ordinary interview questions with requests for your bank name, your payroll method, your phone carrier and whether it is prepaid or postpaid, and whether you own a printer, scanner, and fax machine.
The form is the point of the exercise. The banking and payroll questions set up a fake cheque or transfer that later reverses, leaving you owing the money. The equipment questions set up a request that you pay a supplier and be reimbursed. The phone carrier question is used to judge how easily your mobile number could be taken over.
They quote this notice back at you
When candidates mention the warning on this site, the fake recruiter has claimed it is their own anti-impersonation measure and that seeing it means they are genuine. It is not. This notice is published by DoozerAI and it is about them. No genuine DoozerAI recruiter will ever point at it as proof they are real.
How to check an approach
- Start from the fact that we are not currently hiring. An interview offered in our name is not genuine, whatever the person conducting it says.
- Check the sender domain character by character. Our people write from addresses ending in @doozer.ai. A display name is not a domain.
- Treat any request for banking, payment, or phone account details as the end of the conversation, whoever appears to be asking.
If you have already replied
- Do not send money, and do not deposit or forward any cheque or transfer they send.
- If you gave banking details, contact your bank and tell them what happened.
- If you gave phone account details, contact your mobile provider and ask them to add a port-out PIN or account passcode.
- Report the Teams account and the form to Microsoft.
- Report it to your national fraud service: Action Fraud in the UK, the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov in the US, or your local police elsewhere.
- Forward what you have to info@doozer.ai. It helps us get the accounts taken down.
For our clients
This is misuse of our name, not a breach. The people running it have no access to DoozerAI systems, client environments, or client data. If you receive anything odd that claims to come from us, tell us through our contact page.
