Hello everyone I am very sorry for interrupting your weekend but I bring some important information.
It would seem that there are folks out there who wish to prey on the desperation of those impacted by our current job market. Apparently, there are now posts going around offering an internship with freeCodeCamp. The modus operandi is to deceive you into believing that you are speaking with an official representative of freeCodeCamp in order to lure you in with the promise of gainful employment. The end goal is to harvest your personal information. These scams will go as far as attempting to gain sensitive information, such as a social security number from an American mark.
It is my responsibility to help keep you all safe, so I wish to clear the air. freeCodeCamp is not offering an internship at this time. freeCodeCamp will not post job openings on sites like LinkedIn or Instagram. We are a charity operating on the generous donations of campers like yourself, and as such we are very deliberate and intentional about onboarding new team members. In the rare event that we need to source additional help, we hand-select people from our community who have demonstrated consistent and quality contributions over a significant period of time.
At this moment, there is no formal job application process. Anyone who is claiming to have an opportunity at freeCodeCamp for you is quite likely being dishonest. Please be mindful of things like deceptive email addresses, or similar but unfamiliar domains. If you either run across a job posting or receive an email about employment at freeCodeCamp, please forward the information to me at naomi@freecodecamp.org. I am always happy to validate the legitimacy of such a thing, and the information you share can help me get these scammers taken down to keep you all as safe as I can.
For your education and awareness, I have attached an image of one of these unauthentic job things. This is not a real opportunity and I am only disseminating it as an informative example.
I wish all of you the best in your job searches, and I am always happy to provide guidance and support in any of our public community spaces. Please do not hesitate to ping me if you have questions.
Thanks all~
