Fraud Alert

We have been informed of several incidences of possible recruitment fraud misusing our company name, logos, and documents. Any such efforts are without authorization from Trident and are illegal.

A recruitment scam is a sophisticated fraud offering fictitious job opportunities. This type of fraud is normally done through online recruitment services such as fraudulent job postings on legitimate job boards, job postings using bogus websites, or through unsolicited emails claiming to be from Trident Seafoods.

Is it a scam?

There are several signs to look for. Trident will never do any of the following:

• Request money (for visa fees, drug testing, travel expenses, etc.

• Request personal information through email, by telephone, very early in the process, or before you have completed an online application.

• Send emails from free sites such as Yahoo, Gmail, or Live.com. All emails will come from an @tridentseafoods.com email address.

• Insist that information or payment be made very quickly. Urgent requests should be treated suspiciously.

• Contact you for information prior to you completing an application through our website.

What to do?

• Only apply through our website at https://www.tridentseafoods.com/join-our-team

• Save all messages from the perpetrator for further investigation if necessary. Save the original subject line, complete headers, and complete message content.

• Consider contacting your local police or legal authority.
