"Your job ad has been suspended due to a potential violation of non-discrimination policies” phishing email
Updated: 22 May 2025
Summary: Scammers impersonate SEEK and send phishing emails that claim the employer’s job ad has been suspended due to a potential violation of non-discrimination policies. The email urges recipients to click a “Fix my Job Ad now” button, which leads to a phishing site designed to steal SEEK account credentials.
Tactic used: Creating a false sense of fear and urgency with false claims. Scammers pressure victims to act immediately, knowing employers are eager to keep their job ads active and compliant.
Top recommendation: Log in directly to your SEEK employer account through the official SEEK website to verify or fix any issues. Never click links in suspicious emails.
