Fake Meta interview pages ask for your Facebook login
By the Securify teamPublished Oct 25, 2026. 2 min read.
The safe move
If a booking page asks you to sign in to Facebook or Google, stop. Find the job on the company's own careers site, and don't type a code a page or recruiter asks for.

Interview invite: pick a time for your phone screen
Hi Jordan, thanks for applying to Meta. We'd like to set up a 30-minute phone call with a recruiter. Please pick a time on our booking page: joinhire-meta.example/interview2. To save your spot, sign in with Facebook3 to create your Career Profile.

What gives it away
1
Name says Meta, address doesn't
The sender's address is a generic recruiting domain, not the company's. Malwarebytes found lookalike names like joinhire and jointheteam.
2
Booking link on an odd site
Malwarebytes notes direct Calendly links use calendly.com. An unfamiliar recruiting domain is a reason to verify.
3
A login to book a call
Scheduling an interview doesn't require your social media password. The fake page then asks for your code and Google login too.

What’s going on
On Oct 14, 2026, Malwarebytes reported a wave of fake Calendly booking pages for Meta Careers interviews. After you pick a time, the page asks for your Facebook login and security code, then your Google password. It relays them to attackers as you type, so they can get past two-factor codes. Malwarebytes found 11 lookalike sites with names like joinhire and jointheteam. Booking a call doesn't need your social media password.
If you already signed in
From a trusted device, go straight to Facebook and Google and change those passwords.
Sign out other sessions and check your recovery email and phone number.
In Gmail, look for forwarding rules or filters you didn't set up.
Change the password anywhere else you reused it.
Report it
Report it to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. You can also report the fake recruiter to Facebook and Google through their help centers.
Safe move: Hang up. The FTC says it won't call to cut off your phone or ask you for money. Don't call any number the caller tells you to look up. Report it at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
