We have been made aware of a series of fraudulent schemes posing as the Gummicube brand to defraud individuals out of money by posting fake job and services recruitment solicitations via WhatsApp and other messenger apps. These activities are part of an organized criminal effort targeting multiple companies in the App Store Optimization industry across the globe.
Domains currently associated with fraudulent schemes include: http://gummicube-seouk.com, http://gummicubeuk.com, and http://gummicubehk.com. Given the nature of these schemes, other domains may appear in the future.
The only official Gummicube domains are www.gummicube.com and .com for email. The only official Gummicube social media accounts are LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Gummicube has no company presence on WhatsApp and other messenger apps, or any other platform.
If you are unsure about a communication with us, please contact Gummicube at [email protected] for additional information.
Gummicube does not recruit by offering commissions or rewards in return for data entry, app tests, reviews, or feedback in any other form. Gummicube will never solicit sensitive personal information through insecure channels like social media, email, or text messages.
