Fake Samsung Careers job application on a Workday lookalike address that pushes you to download official forms

A job page at sec.wd3.myworkdayjobs[.]works copies the look of a Samsung Careers application on Workday, the hiring system many large companies use. It advertises a "Remote Operations Specialist (Full Time)" role, "Remote - Worldwide", paying $20 to $33 an hour. Before you can apply, a pop-up marked "Required Action" tells you to download "Official Samsung Application Forms", including a "Samsung CV / Resume Template", and warns that applications with "self-created or non-standard documents will be automatically rejected". The application form then asks for your name, place of residence, phone number, email, CV, extra files, age, US work authorization and expected pay. It was first observed on November 5, 2026, aimed at job seekers in the United States. The address is not a Samsung or Workday website.

What’s different in this version

These traits set this message apart from the usual pattern.

  1. The address copies the format of real Workday job sites (company.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com) but ends in .works instead of .com.

  2. Before the form opens, a pop-up insists you download three "official" files: a CV template (required), a personal information declaration form and a background check consent form. Real Workday applications accept your own CV.

  3. The three downloads come from cdn.myworkdayjobs[.]works, and the page loads their links from the scammer's server each time, so the files can be swapped at any moment. The files themselves were not captured, so it is not known whether they contain malware or are forms that collect more personal data.

  4. The application form copies a real Workday layout, with fields for your name, place of residence, phone, email, CV and extra attachments, plus questions on age, US work authorization, visa sponsorship and expected annual pay.

  5. Some comments in the page's code are written in Vietnamese and the footer links point to Samsung's Vietnamese-language pages, although the job is aimed at the United States.

  6. How the job link reached people (job board, message or ad) was not recorded.

How this scam works

  1. 1

    The visitor reaches a polished careers page on a domain that is not the company’s official website. The page copies familiar logos, images, navigation, and job-related language.

  2. 2

    The page presents a social-media login as the only way to continue an application, creating an opportunity to collect a password.

  3. 3

    The flow may then ask for a one-time SMS code. Never enter that code into an unexpected page: it may be used during an attempted account takeover.

✓ Do this

  • Open the employer’s official website yourself and find its careers page there.
  • Check the address bar before entering a password or verification code.
  • If you entered a reused password, change it through the real service and review recent sign-ins.
  • Report suspicious recruitment pages to the impersonated company and the relevant platform.

✗ Avoid this

  • Do not enter a social-media password into a job page reached through an unexpected link.
  • Do not enter or share a one-time verification code with a recruiter or website.
  • Do not assume a page is genuine because it uses a familiar logo, video, or professional design.
