  Like many other companies, Cognosante has been targeted by scammers making fraudulent job offers to potential candidates. As shared on our company website (https://cognosante.com/careers/) , communications from Cognosante recruiting are only sent with an official corporate domain email (e.g., @cognosante.com) and not a commercial domain e-mail (e.g., @gmail.com or @yahoo.com)). We will never request payment from an applicant, nor will we send payment to an applicant, prior to that individual’s start date.

  We want to recommend a couple of ways that you can report this incident and take action against these scams:

  -The FBI: File a Complaint (https://www.ic3.gov/Home/FileComplaint)

  -The FTC: Report Fraud (https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/)

  Also, if you're not sure where to report the scam, you can find some guidance here: Where to report scams | USAGov (https://www.usa.gov/where-report-scams) .
