Have you received a WhatsApp message, LinkedIn message, or a message from another messaging app offering a remote work opportunity by an individual claiming to be affiliated with Gummicube?
We have been made aware of a series of fraudulent schemes involving online criminals posing as Gummicube employees and purporting to be affiliated with the Gummicube brand in an attempt to profit from unsuspecting individuals. Such fraudsters have gone as far as listing the gummicube.com URL in the signature line of their email messages. The fraudsters attempt to gain trust and defraud individuals out of money by posting fake jobs and services recruitment solicitations via WhatsApp and other messenger apps. Some scammers are offering cryptocurrency in exchange for ‘Gummicube ASO Services work’. The domains related to this fraudulent activity unlawfully infringe upon the Gummicube trademark. These fraudulent activities are part of an organized criminal effort targeting multiple companies in the App Store Optimization industry across the globe.
The only official Gummicube domains are www.gummicube.com and @gummicube.com for email. The only official Gummicube social media accounts are LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/gummicube-app-store-optimization/), Twitter (https://mobile.twitter.com/gummicube), Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/gummicube/) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/gummicube/). Gummicube has no company presence on WhatsApp and other messenger apps, or any other platform.
Gummicube does not recruit by offering commissions or rewards in return for data entry, app tests, reviews, or feedback in any other form. Gummicube will never solicit sensitive personal information through insecure channels like social media, email, or text messages. Additionally, we do not use WhatsApp to communicate with potential recruits or customers.
First and most importantly, don't respond or otherwise engage if you get a suspicious message. Please block the scammer, flag the message as spam, and report within WhatsApp by following the steps below.
