Job seekers can be a target and should be aware of possible recruitment scams.  Boston Scientific has recently become aware of the fraudulent use of its name on job sites not associated with the company.  Prospective applicants should carefully research the legitimacy of any unsolicited recruiting communications that appear to come from Boston Scientific or any other employer to help stop fraud and avoid falling victim to such online scams.
