If you’re a job seeker, you know better than anyone what it feels like to receive one rejection after the other. So, when someone contacts you on LinkedIn with a job offer from Luno, be sure to verify that it’s genuinely a Luno employee.

Sadly, there are people pretending to be Luno recruiters. They’ll use fake or hacked LinkedIn profiles to offer you a job at the company that is putting the power of cryptocurrency in everyone’s hands.

But there’s always a catch - applicants are asked to pay a fee, deposit money, or send cryptocurrency to get the job. Luno will never ask you to do this.

Someone pretending to work for Luno will:

  • Charge a fee for an interview, job application or to start a job

  • Force you to invest in or use cryptocurrency to get a job

  • Contact you from an email address that looks legitimate but isn’t, such as @luno.careers

  • Send you a private message on LinkedIn with a job offer

  • Message you on WhatsApp with an employment contract

Luno’s official email address

If you receive an email that hasn’t come from an @luno.com domain, it isn’t legitimate. Emails from Luno will never come from @gmail.com or any other domain.

Keep in mind

  • Luno recruiters often contact candidates via private messaging on LinkedIn. However, candidates are never sent a job offer without going through the full recruitment process. Candidates are offered the opportunity to interview for a specific role or invited to have an introductory chat to learn more about Luno. Be sure to verify that it is a real Luno employee by going onto their LinkedIn profile to check if they have a verified tick next to their name

  • While Luno does contact potential candidates via WhatsApp during the recruitment process in some countries, we will never send a job offer or employment contract via WhatsApp. If we do send a Whatsapp message, it will only be after a screening call has happened. Don’t click on links sent via WhatsApp from “Luno Recruiters” as this could be a phishing scam

  • Luno’s sourcing team often prospects for positions that may not be advertised on various job sites. However, if you’re sent a link to a job that isn’t listed on www.luno.com/careers or on the Luno LinkedIn page, it’s a scam

Note

If you suspect that someone on LinkedIn is impersonating a Luno recruiter and trying to scam you, report it to LinkedIn and let us know by sending an email to phishing@luno.com.
