Founder, CEO @ July | Backed by 776

It pains me to say that someone has been scamming in my name. I’ve gotten multiple emails & dms from people saying they received a message from wellsdouraghy.founder.july@gmail.com inviting them to apply for our “summer internship” at July and then asking for a $75 resume review. If you've received one of these emails, I'm very sorry that some lowlife is wasting your time and I recommend two courses of action: 1. Mark the email as spam so it stops showing up in others people's inboxes. 2. Sign them up to whatever spam website or dating website you can find... I've heard Farmers Only has a wickedly persistent email sequence. Anyhow, in all seriousness, we've already found our summer interns. I'd never reach out from a Gmail and I will NEVER ask anyone to pay to apply for a job. Stay safe out there folks!

I have been a victim of this too, shared my resume and apparently, had long conversations over email, almost looked real. I was genuinely waiting for the response and I feel disheartened that it wasn’t real but I am happy that I can directly connect with you now. Would love to hear from you and know about any possible opportunities!

I got the email too and was excited at first—until I realized it was a scam. Thankfully, I didn’t share my resume, but it was disappointing to think there was a real opportunity there. I’ve reported it and also sent you an email about it! That said, I’d still love to connect and hear more about your work and any potential opportunities down the line.

Really sorry to see this happening, wells. As a cybersecurity student, I’ve been diving deep into cases just like this where personal brands and creators are targeted in sneaky ways. It’s frustrating, but also a reminder of how important digital security is at every level. Would genuinely love to help out if there’s any way I can support.
