We have been made aware of recent internet scams involving individuals posing as Lucasfilm/ILM employees and falsely stating that they are recruiting for positions within the company. The senders are asking for personal information and/or money as part of our interview process. These individuals are not associated with Lucasfilm/ILM.

Lucasfilm/ILM Recruiters will only contact you from an official company email address including: @lucasfilm.com, @ilm.com or @disney.com. They will not request funds or payment in any form or personal information such as photos of government-issued identification. If you receive a suspicious email, we advise you to mark the email as junk or spam so that your email provider will block them.

If you receive a message via LinkedIn from one of our Recruiters, look for the LinkedIn Verified verification checkmark on their LinkedIn profile to confirm their account is registered with our official company email.
