Scam Warning
Warning: Important Alert from Griswold – Protect Yourself from Job Impersonation Fraud.
If you are brought to a site or have received communications claiming to be Griswold, Griswold Home Care or the Jean Griswold Foundation that isn't GriswoldCare.com, GriswoldHomeCareFranchise.com, JeanGriswoldFoundation.org, offering job opportunities, this is a scam. Scammers are impersonating well-known companies like ours to recruit for fake jobs on platforms such as LinkedIn, Indeed, and others. They pose as recruiters, send official-looking emails or offer letters with our name and logo, and then ask for your money (e.g., upfront payments for "equipment" via cash, Zelle, or PayPal) or personal information (like your driver's license, Social Security number, or bank details) under the guise of employment paperwork. As the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) warns, honest employers like Griswold will never ask you to pay upfront fees for a job or equipment, and we won't request sensitive personal information before verifying the opportunity through official channels.
At Griswold, we are an award-winning pioneer in the home care industry with over four decades of compassionate service, but we do not operate or endorse any websites outside of GriswoldCare.com. We are aware of fraudulent websites redirecting to our legitimate websites (GriswoldCare.com/ GriswoldHomeCareFranchise.com/ JeanGriswoldFoundation.org) to appear credible and trick job seekers. If you've been contacted, do not share any information or make payments—it's a ploy to steal your money or identity.

What to Do Next (Based on FTC Guidance):
- Verify Directly: Contact us only through our official websites, GriswoldCare.com, GriswoldHomeCareFranchise.com, JeanGriswoldFoundation.org or a known legitimate phone number. Do not use contact info from suspicious messages.
- Report the Scam: If you've spotted this or been targeted, report it immediately at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. The FTC has resources to help spot job scams and recover if affected.
- Protect Yourself: Never give out personal information without researching. As the FTC notes, if an offer seems too good to be true (e.g., high pay for remote work with no real interview), it could be a scam.
