Fraud warning: someone is impersonating Frost River Capital with fake remote job offers. We never send checks to applicants and never ask anyone to purchase equipment.

A third party is using our name and logo to run a job scam. If you received a job offer from us, please read this.

We do not send checks to applicants, for equipment or any other reason. We do not ask anyone to purchase equipment, software, or supplies. We do not recruit by text message. We do not conduct interviews over Microsoft Teams chat. We do not hire remote appointment schedulers, chat moderators, or executive assistants. All of our hiring is local and in person, in the Denver and Boulder areas.

Legitimate email from us comes only from @frostrivercapital.com, @merrymaidsdenver.com, or @merrymaids.pro. The domain frostrivercapitals.com, with an "s", is not ours and is being used fraudulently.

If you were contacted: do not deposit any check you receive. A check that clears can still be reversed weeks later, and you will owe your bank the full amount. Report it at ic3.gov, and feel free to contact Rob directly at rob@frostrivercapital.com.
