Warning:

We have recently become aware that individuals not associated with G/O Media have fraudulently used our name – and fictitious employee names– to solicit applications for fake and real jobs, to conduct fake job interviews and to make fake job offers.

If you have provided personal information in connection with a fake job offer or interview and you are concerned, we suggest that you immediately take appropriate action.

G/O Media takes these activities very seriously and are taking appropriate steps to shut down this fraudulent activity.
