    Fraud Warning!
    EMPLOYMENT SCAM

    An Internet website http://www.aig-inc.info is misusing the AIG Trademark and is falsely advertising employment opportunities as part of a phishing scam. The scam falsely uses Careerbuilder.com to notify job seekers of opportunities with their company and misleads job seekers into giving up their PayPal account e-mail and the last four digits of their Social Security number, among other things. The victims may end up losing their money and/or identity. The public is being made aware that neither American International Group, Inc. (AIG, Inc.) nor CareerBuilder has any affiliation with this website.

    If you or someone you know has been approached by this company, do not provide any personal information, contact the AIG Internal Audit Investigative Group at 32 Old Slip - 28th floor, New York, NY 10005, or at aig.iaig@aig.com.
