Hello! It sounds like you're concerned about fraudulent job offers or scams using the name "Starz Entertainment," especially involving the Starz app. Could you tell me a bit more about what you've encountered? For example, did you receive an offer via email, a message through the app, or some other method?

Meanwhile, I want to reassure you that real job offers from Starz or its legitimate partners will come through official channels and usually won't ask for sensitive personal information upfront or money. If you have any suspicious messages or offers, please do not respond or provide any details.

Once you share more about what you’re seeing, I can guide you on how to verify the offer's authenticity and what steps you can take to protect yourself. Does that sound good?

I received an email through the Indeed website posting a potential job opportunity. The fraudulent email sent a list of questions to answer regarding my education and experience for a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Following my submission of my resume. I denied their request for my banking info needed for then to send "start up" money.

Thank you for sharing those details. It’s great that you recognized something was off and declined to share your banking info—that’s a very important safeguard.

To help you and others stay safe from job offer scams, here are some clear ways to recognize them and protect your personal information:

1. Check the Source Carefully
Official job offers will come from legitimate company email addresses or verified platforms. Be cautious if you receive emails from generic addresses (like Gmail, Yahoo) or messages through third-party websites that don’t tie back clearly to the employer.

2. Too Good to Be True Offers
If the job offers unusually high pay for little work, guarantees easy money, or asks for upfront fees—these are strong red flags.

3. Vague Job Details
Scams often provide unclear information about the role, responsibilities, or company. Legitimate postings usually include specific job descriptions, required qualifications, and official contact information.

4. Requests for Personal or Financial Info Early
Never share sensitive data such as banking details, social security numbers, or payment for “startup” funds before verifying a job’s legitimacy. Real employers don’t ask for money or personal info upfront.

5. Conduct Your Own Research
Look up the company directly through their official website or trusted job boards. You can also check reviews or complaints online related to the job offer or recruiter.

6. Trust Your Instincts and Ask Questions
If something feels off, don’t hesitate to reach out to the company’s official HR department or trusted job boards for verification.

In your case, since you received this through Indeed, you can report the suspicious email directly via Indeed’s platform to help protect others. You’re doing the right thing by not providing banking info, which is a common scam tactic to steal money.
