What We Will Never Do

Request for monetary payment (credit/debit payments, digital wallets, electronic transfers, gift cards, etc.) or financial information at any stage.
Send unexpected messages from free email services (like Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail). For reference, “@aexp.com” and “axprecruit.americanexpress.com” are the only verified Amex Email Domains.
Offer a job without an interview.
Connect via unverified LinkedIn accounts or unusual resume sources.
What We Will Do
