Warning: fraudulent career and research advertisements on social media
A network of scam accounts impersonating the Max Planck Society is currently active on LinkedIn and Instagram
September 17, 2026
These fake adverts and posts typically rely on AI-generated visuals and manipulated follower counts to feign credibility. The pages linked from these fraudulent accounts do not belong to the Max Planck Society and are designed to steal your personal data.
Please ensure that the LinkedIn page in question actually belongs to the Max Planck Society, an official partner, or another trustworthy source.
If you have already submitted personal information on a fraudulent site, change your passwords and update your account security credentials as quickly as possible.
