Quick summary
Indeed may email you about jobs, company alerts, messages from employers or activity on your account. We will never ask for money, personal information or login details by email. If an email does this, it might be a scam. This article shows you how to tell real emails from fake ones, what to do if an email looks suspicious and how to stay safe while looking for work.
Identifying emails from Indeed
When do we email you?
You may get emails from Indeed about:
- Updates on job applications
- Job and company alerts you signed up for
- Messages from employers sent through Indeed
- Automated invitations to apply
- Login security, like password resets or changes to your account settings
How do we email you?
Emails from Indeed will always come from one of these domains:
- @indeed.com

Recognising scam emails
Check for errors
Scammers often make mistakes you can spot:
- Bad spelling or grammar
- Wrong logos or colours
- A sender address that is not an official Indeed domain
- Links that go to strange websites. Hover over links to see the full address before clicking
Does it feel right?
Scammers may also try to trick you by:
- Making you feel rushed, like 'your account will be closed soon'
- Asking for money, bank information or other personal details
- Claiming to be 'processing' your account for another company, like Amazon or PayPal
- Pretending to be from Indeed, using logos or colours
- Offering jobs that sound too good to be true
Important: Indeed never emails job offers or asks for personal information.
What to do if you suspect a scam
- Don't click on links or attachments.
- Mark the email as phishing and delete it.
- Run a virus scan if you accidentally clicked a link or downloaded a file.
