Fraud Alert
Unauthorized Domain & Scam Activity Impersonating CICOR Marketing
CICOR Marketing has been made aware of a fraudulent scheme involving the unauthorized use of our company name, branding, and logo to deceive individuals via a fake website and unsolicited WhatsApp messages.
What’s Happening
A website operating under the domains cicormarketing.online and cicormarketing.xyz have been falsely presenting itself as affiliated with CICOR Marketing. This site — along with several WhatsApp accounts — is being used to:
- Pretend to offer employment or freelance roles on behalf of CICOR Marketing.
- Collect personal identification information under pretenses.
- Solicit payments for non-existent training, onboarding fees, or digital marketing services.
These messages may appear professional, but they are part of a coordinated scam operation and have no connection to CICOR Marketing or its team.
What CICOR Marketing Is Doing
We are taking this matter seriously and have:
- Submitted formal complaints to ICANN, Alibaba Cloud (domain registrar), Cloudflare (hosting/CDN provider), and Meta/WhatsApp.
- Initiated action to pursue domain suspension and account takedowns.
- Reported the fraud to IC3.gov, the U.S. FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center.
- Alerted our clients and public community to protect against potential further misuse of our brand.
Your Safety Matters
We understand how damaging and convincing these types of scams can be. CICOR Marketing remains committed to transparency, accountability, and protecting the public from fraud involving our name.
If you are ever unsure about a communication or offer allegedly from CICOR Marketing, please contact us directly via our official contact form.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Legitimate employers and agencies do not charge job applicants or contractors any fees to apply for a position, receive an offer, or begin work. Any request for payment as part of a hiring process, framed as a training fee, background check payment, equipment deposit, or onboarding cost, is a warning sign of a scam. Reputable organizations cover these costs themselves and never require prospective employees or contractors to pay to participate in a hiring process.
This organization does not charge applicants or contractors any fees at any stage. If you received a message or offer claiming to be from us that requested payment of any kind, that communication was fraudulent and did not originate from this organization. Scammers frequently impersonate legitimate businesses in recruitment fraud, using the company’s name and branding to make fake offers appear credible.
If you were targeted by this type of scam, report it to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov, to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at IC3.gov, and to the platform where you encountered the fraudulent listing. Preserve all communications from the scammer and do not engage further after identifying the fraud.
No. cicormarketing.online is not affiliated with this organization in any way. This organization does not operate, endorse, or have any connection to that domain or any website other than its official site. The use of this organization’s name in a domain that was not created and is not controlled by this organization is an unauthorized impersonation intended to mislead people.
Fraudulent websites using the names of legitimate businesses are a recognized form of online fraud, typically used to conduct recruitment scams, solicit payments, or collect personal information under false pretenses. If you were directed to cicormarketing.online by someone offering employment, requesting payment, or asking for personal information, that contact was fraudulent and should be treated as such.
Do not interact further with any website or individual associated with cicormarketing.online. Report the site to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov and to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at IC3.gov. If you shared personal or financial information, take immediate action: change affected passwords, alert your bank if financial data was disclosed, and consider placing a credit freeze through the major credit bureaus to prevent unauthorized use of your information.
If you shared personal information, such as your name, contact details, social security number, banking information, or passwords, with someone you now believe was a scammer, take immediate action to limit the damage. Start by changing the passwords on any accounts that may have been compromised, especially email accounts, financial accounts, and any platform that shares credentials with those accounts. If banking or payment information was shared, contact your bank or card issuer immediately to freeze the account or dispute unauthorized charges.
Report the incident to the Federal Trade Commission at ReportFraud.ftc.gov, which maintains the national fraud database and provides recovery guidance specific to what type of information was shared. If financial fraud occurred, file a report with your local police as well. For identity theft specifically, the FTC’s IdentityTheft.gov provides a personalized, step-by-step recovery plan tailored to the circumstances.
Monitor your credit reports for new accounts or inquiries you did not initiate. Free reports are available at AnnualCreditReport.com, and you can place a credit freeze with the three major bureaus, Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, to prevent new accounts from being opened in your name. If the fraud involved a fake job offer or employment scheme, also report the scam to the platform or website where the fraudulent listing appeared.
No. cicormarketing.online is not a website operated by this organization. The official web presence for this organization is at cicormarketing.com. Any website using a different domain, including cicormarketing.online, or any variation of the business name with a different extension or additional characters, is not affiliated with and is not operated by this organization.
Websites that impersonate legitimate businesses are a common fraud tactic used to deceive job seekers, potential clients, or others into sharing personal information or sending money. If you received a job offer, payment request, or any communication directing you to a website other than cicormarketing.com, treat that communication as fraudulent.
If you interacted with the fraudulent website and shared personal or financial information, take immediate protective steps: change any passwords that may have been compromised, contact your bank if financial information was involved, and report the incident to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. You can also report the fraudulent website to its hosting provider and to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at IC3.gov.
