Important Notice on Spoofing & Impersonation Attempts
Ports America has recently identified an increase in fraudulent activity involving individuals impersonating our recruiters through email, text messages, and social media — particularly LinkedIn. These scams target jobseekers with fake job interviews, counterfeit checks, or requests for personal and financial information. To help protect yourself, please review the guidelines below to verify genuine contact from Ports America and recognize potential fraud.
