There are individuals who may use CARE’s name and trademark in emails and on websites
in an attempt to solicit fees from interested job-seekers. Some examples of these fees are
placement fees or immigration processing fees. CARE does not use recruiting or placement
agencies that charge candidates an up-front fee of any kind. Occasionally, CARE does
employ recruiting or placement agencies to help us identify candidates for specific
employment within CARE. If you’re contacted by a legitimate recruiting or  placement
agency, there should be no charge to you. If you suspect that you have been a victim of
fraud from someone purporting to be CARE, please contact us at  legal@care.org.
