Common scams
Employment scams: Scammers who promise a false position at a company, but require the victim to purchase a Udemy course off-site for training or provide some other up-front payment before securing the role.
Subscription resellers: Email scam campaigns that are fraudulently designed to appear as a Udemy-branded email, offering a lifetime subscription for a one-time payment.
Avoiding off-site solicitation or scams
Below are some additional guidelines to follow as a means to avoid off-site solicitations or scams. If you ever have any questions regarding the legitimacy of a communication that purportedly is from Udemy, please feel free to contact us at any time at policy@udemy.com.
- Udemy does not direct learners off-site to collect payment through third-party payment services, such as PayPal.
- If you receive an email message purporting to be from Udemy, make sure to check the email header to confirm that the sender is using an @udemy.com address. Udemy does not use generic email domains, such as @gmail.com, to send emails.
- You should not reply to or click on any links contained in email messages not from a Udemy domain.
- Udemy is not affiliated with any hiring process that requires course enrollment as a condition of employment.
