We are issuing this security bulletin as a reminder to be aware of potential scams. For example, individuals or entities may falsely represent themselves as authorized Autodesk partners or as Autodesk recruiters. These scammers may attempt to deceive individuals into providing personal and financial information under the guise of legitimate Autodesk business.
Offers that seem too good to be true, such as significantly discounted prices or special promotions that are not listed on the official Autodesk website.
Poor grammar, spelling mistakes, or unprofessional language in communications.
Requests for payment through unconventional methods, such as wire transfers, gift cards, or cryptocurrency.
Be wary of any request for payment or financial information in exchange for employment opportunities, or that seem unusual or urgent. Autodesk and our partners will follow standard procedures and will not pressure you into making quick decisions.
We strongly recommend exercising caution and following these best practices.
Verify partner status. Always verify the authenticity of any partner claiming to represent Autodesk. You can find a list of authorized Autodesk partners on our official website Autodesk Authorized Partners.
If you have doubts about the legitimacy of a partner, contact Autodesk customer support for verification before making any purchases or sharing personal, financial, or other sensitive information.
Never provide sensitive financial information, such as credit card numbers or bank account details, without ensuring the legitimacy of the request.
Use official communication channels. Autodesk will only communicate with you through official channels. Be cautious of unsolicited emails, phone calls, or messages that claim to be from Autodesk or its partners.
Verify the sender’s email address and look for any inconsistencies or suspicious elements.
If you are contacted by anyone requesting payment from you as a part of the hiring process, do not respond. Autodesk would never engage a candidate in this manner.
Report suspicious activity. If you encounter any suspicious activity or believe you have been contacted by a scammer, report it immediately to Autodesk customer support. Provide as much detail as possible, including any communication received, so we can take appropriate action.
By staying vigilant and following these guidelines, you can help protect yourself from potential scams.
