Johnson, or its parent company, Project Worldwide, Inc., have fraudulently used our name – and the names of some of our employees – to solicit applications for fake jobs, to conduct fake job interviews and to make fake job offers.

Any request to schedule an interview and any offer of employment will only come from an authorized representative of George P. Johnson with an email address “@gpj.com”.

We will never require an applicant to provide credit card or banking information to cover any supposed advance costs.

If you have provided personal information in connection with a fake job offer or interview and you are concerned, we suggest that you contact local law enforcement authorities.
