How scammers operate?

Fraudsters may attempt to mislead job seekers by:


  • Reaching out through insecure or informal channels (WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, text messages) rather than official Mesh & Myth platforms.
  • Using fake or look-alike email addresses resembling "@meshandmyth.com" or "@mail.meshandmyth.com" or "meshandmyth@gmail.com" with small alterations (misspellings, additional letters, different domain extensions).
  • Making unrealistic offers (high pay, immediate remote work, or fast-track hiring) without a structured interview process.
  • Requesting sensitive personal or financial details (bank account information, identity documents) via insecure platforms.
  • Demanding upfront payments for “training,” “equipment,” “background checks,” or gift cards.
  • Pressuring quick decisions, dismissing questions, or creating urgency to prevent verification.
  • Sending fraudulent checks or payment instructions, often asking candidates to deposit and return funds.

What Mesh & Myth recruiters will never do?

A genuine Mesh & Myth recruiter will never:


  • Ask you to pay for training, equipment, background checks, or any other part of the hiring process.
  • Request your banking details or sensitive personal information before a formal offer is extended through secure channels.
  • Use non-official or suspicious email addresses outside of domains verified by Mesh & Myth (such as "@meshandmyth.com" or "@mail.meshandmyth.com" or "meshandmyth@gmail.com").
  • Pressure you into making on-the-spot decisions or discourage you from verifying details.

What Mesh & Myth recruiters will do?

When engaging with a legitimate Mesh & Myth recruiter, you can expect:


  • Initial communication via official Mesh & Myth domains and ID (Example: "@meshandmyth.com" or "@mail.meshandmyth.com" or "meshandmyth@gmail.com").
  • Transparent information about the role, interview stages, and recruiter identity, with time to ask questions and perform due diligence.
  • Provision of necessary equipment or reimbursement through documented, secure processes - never through candidate-funded purchases.
  • All onboarding and paperwork conducted through verified, professional, and secure channels.

What to do if you suspect a scam?

If you believe you have been contacted by an impersonator:


  • Verify the sender – ensure email addresses end with official Mesh & Myth domains and be alert to look-alike variations.
  • Request confirmation – ask for official identification or have them schedule an interview through recognized channels.
  • Never send money or purchase items at the request of a recruiter.
  • Protect your information – avoid sharing sensitive data through informal messaging apps.
  • Cross-check the job posting – confirm open positions via Mesh & Myth’s careers page or LinkedIn presence.
  • Report it immediately – forward suspicious messages, screenshots, or correspondence to Mesh & Myth’s HR (hr@meshandmyth.com) or security team (it@meshandmyth.com). If uncertain, disengage immediately.
