Summary
Scammers are impersonating human resources leaders at Munson Healthcare, offering fake job opportunities and sending counterfeit checks to victims for purchasing equipment. The health system, located in Traverse City, Michigan, issued a security alert on December 6, advising the public to apply only through their official website and to expect communications solely from email addresses ending in mhc.net. Munson also stated that they do not request financial information during the hiring process and provide necessary equipment to remote employees. Additionally, scammers are posing as employees in the revenue cycle department to extract sensitive information from IT staff, prompting Munson Healthcare to take measures to protect job seekers and employees from these fraudulent activities.
