Employer account suspension phishing email

Summary: Scammers impersonate SEEK and send phishing emails that require employers to confirm their SEEK accounts to avoid suspension. The email does not provide any further explanation for the request. Scammers urge recipients to click a “Confirm your account” button, which redirects them to a phishing site designed to steal SEEK credentials. 

Tactic used: Brand impersonation and creating a false sense of fear and urgency. Scammers claim SEEK employer accounts are at risk of suspension. They use official‑looking emails that mimic SEEK’s branding to convince recipients the message is legitimate and pressure them to act quickly without verifying the details.

Top recommendation: If you receive an unexpected email claiming to be from SEEK, especially if it’s unusual compared to previous communications, avoid responding to it, clicking any links or downloading any attachments. Reach out to your account manager or to SEEK to verify.
