It appears spammers are falsely using the ClearanceJobs.com name and text from our homepage in spam emails going around the internet. These emails are made to appear as if they are coming from us, when in fact they are not. This is a common spam practice called spoofing, which is unfortunately common on the internet.

If you receive an email asking you to download a file, do not do so. Legitimate emails from ClearanceJobs.com follow a standard format, contain standard information, will never ask you to download files, and never ask for your personal information or credentials.

If you receive an email and wish to validate its authenticity, please forward it to support @ clearancejobs.com. Please note that your personal data and information is secure. While fake spoofed emails are unfortunate, they are part of being a well-known presence on the internet. You may receive similar emails claiming to be from Monster.com, CareerBuilder.com, or HotJobs.com. Follow up with the job seeker support services from those websites as well to validate the authenticity of those emails.
