They do not care about scams in their name
UPDATE 2 (November 2025): INTENT can certainly act! but not in the direction of bringing the scammers to the authorities. After appealing this review because the name of one of their employees was included, a name which also appears publicly on their site. Still, here we are, waiting for a lousy email from INTENT...
UPDATE 1 (October 2025): it appears INTENT has finally reported the fake domain, and it has been removed from the internet... for now. The CEO finally reached to me again via LinkedIn asking me to remove my reviews. I still find their response unprofessional, LinkedIn should not be the primary communications channel. If the domain is still down in a couple of days, I'll decide what to do with this review, as it is still factually correct.
Original review:
More than a month ago, I was targeted and scammed by a fraudulent website impersonating INTENT with a job offer.
Since then, I have made multiple, good-faith attempts to alert the company about the scam site. My only goal was to get a simple, official email response from INTENT confirming the impersonation, which I could then use as evidence to contact the fraudulent site's domain registrar and have the domain taken offline, protecting future victims.
Their response, delivered only a couple of days ago after weeks of silence and multiple warnings via their official info@ email and contact form, was shocking. A representative, a support engineer, replied with a literal threat: "please don't reach out to us again, because we will blacklist your domain."
INTENT's refusal to help mitigate a scam being run in their name is deeply alarming. This behaviour suggests two possibilities:
a. Extreme incompetence in handling brand reputation and protecting the public from fraud.
b. Actual involvement or complicity with the fraudulent activity.
A legitimate company would cooperate in taking down a malicious site impersonating them. INTENT's choice to threaten a scam victim instead of acting responsibly is unacceptable.
Evidence:
- Multiple email messages sent to info@... detailing the scam.
- The email exchange with one of their engineers containing the explicit threat to "blacklist" my domain.
- Multiple submissions via their official contact form.
- The list of members of a WhatsApp group from all over the world working on the fake website.
