Verify a KnockFiber Recruiter: What We Ask, What We Never Ask

What a real KnockFiber contact looks like

It begins with something you did. For most people that is the form on knockfiber.com, which asks for your name, your phone number, your city and whether you have sold before; it takes no résumé and no identity documents, as the requirements guide sets out. If you answered a job post on another site instead, the post should point back to knockfiber.com, and the recruiter should be able to tell you which post it was. Our privacy policy says a recruiter may reach you by phone, text or email about your application, so a message after you applied is expected and not suspicious in itself.

The first conversation is about you, not about money. A recruiter asks which city you want to work in, what you have sold before (or that you have sold nothing), and when you could start. Before you commit to anything you are told which partner sales organization would hold your contract: the company that contracts with you, trains you, badges you, assigns your doors and pays you. KnockFiber is the recruiter. We are an independent recruiting company that introduces you to a partner, so we are not the employer, we are not the internet provider, and we charge you nothing. Applying guarantees no placement, since a partner needs room where you live, and when none has any the recruiter should say so.

Texts and calls come from a number the recruiter names as theirs, and email comes from an address ending in @knockfiber.com. A message that says it is from us but arrives from a free webmail address, or from a domain that only resembles ours, belongs in the unverified pile. Be modest about what these signs prove. Your name and number can be found without your help, so a contact that knows them proves little; one that can also say what you typed into the form, your city and whether you said you had sold before, proves a little more. The strongest sign is a negative one: nothing in the conversation needs your money or a secret in order to go forward.

What we never ask for

One short list applies at every stage of dealing with KnockFiber.

• –A fee of any kind. Applying and being matched with a partner cost the rep nothing, and KnockFiber charges nothing later either; the partner sales organizations pay KnockFiber when a placement is made. A town's permit fee, where a town has one, goes to the town and is covered in the permits guide.
• –A purchase. No starter kit, training course, certification, lead list or equipment is sold through us.
• –A card number or a bank login. Not to hold your place, not to “verify” you, not to set up your pay.
• –A Social Security number before you have a written contract with a partner. The application has no field for one.
• –Money in any form, including a payment you are told to pass along after a check or transfer reaches you.

The FTC's job scams page states the rule for every employer: honest ones do not ask you to pay to get a job. On placement firms it adds that honest ones typically do not charge candidates, because the company that wants to fill the job pays them, which is how KnockFiber is paid. It also says the real aim of job scammers is your money and your personal information, which is why the list above is about little else.

We also never promise income. The arrangement is 1099, commission only and no base pay, so any figure promised in advance is a red flag, whoever it claims to come from. Individual results vary and no earnings are guaranteed. Commission is paid out on the partner's schedule once an install completes, and the is-KnockFiber-legit page makes the same point about recruiters who quote figures.

Tax numbers do come up later, in the ordinary way. The IRS's page on forms for independent contractors says that once a business treats a worker as a contractor, the first step is a Form W-9, which asks for the worker's name and taxpayer identification number. A partner that contracts with you and pays you will generally need that form; the IRS page does not say when, so ask the partner when it will want yours and read its written terms first. Separately, the FTC warns against giving a Social Security number to someone who sent you a job offer you did not ask for. Paperwork from the company that contracts with you and a stranger's text on day one are different moments.

Five checks, in order

1. Did you apply? Look for the confirmation or email from the form you sent, or for the job post you answered. If a recruiter texted you out of nowhere, the FTC's alert on unexpected job texts says not to click any link or reply, and to check through a website or phone number you already know is real rather than the contact details in the message. Type knockfiber.com into your browser yourself.
2. Answer in the thread you started. If you applied and a text then arrived, reply there, not to a different number or app that the message hands you. A genuine recruiter does not need you to move.
3. Write to recruiting@knockfiber.com. Give the number or paste the message, add the city you applied from, and ask whether it came from us. That is the address on our about page and in the privacy policy.
4. Look up who runs the site. Our terms of use name the operator as KnockFiber LLC, a Florida limited liability company, and Florida's Division of Corporations runs a public search of companies registered in the state, so you can look the name up for yourself instead of relying on anything a message says. The is-KnockFiber-legit page gives the filing's document number and names the founder, Clayton Camera.
5. Ask which partner the recruiter represents, then check the partner on your own. Arizona's attorney general advises that when a placement company says it is following up on your online résumé, you ask who it represents and check with that company that the position exists. The FTC's job scams page suggests searching a company's name with words such as scam, review or complaint, notes that finding no complaints does not guarantee a company is honest, and suggests talking the offer over with someone you trust.

No one of these checks settles it. A name and a number can be copied, and a friendly voice proves nothing. Run them together and let the money test decide: a genuine contact never needs your money or your secrets to move you forward.

When a partner sales organization contacts you next

If a recruiter moves your application forward, the partner for your market may get in touch with you directly. The privacy policy says it may, and that stopping a partner's messages means replying STOP to that partner as well. A second sender is therefore not a sign of a fake, but it should pass the same tests. It names itself and says it is the party contracting with you. It puts the terms in writing before day one: what makes an install payable, when and how you are paid, and how cancelled installs are handled. Pay follows the partner's schedule, after installs are complete, and no message from a recruiter can promise you a date, an amount or a start slot on the partner's behalf. The requirements guide lists what to confirm with a partner before you start, and the company chooser gives the seven questions behind a written offer.

Expect a slow start even from a genuine placement. Commission arrives only when installs complete, and the first weeks are usually slow. That is why a message promising quick money, or announcing that you are already “approved” before anyone has asked about your city, deserves suspicion. For the wider question of a job versus a pitch, see is door-to-door sales a scam.

If something is off

• →Stop replying and do not click. For an unexpected job text the FTC's advice is not to click links or respond. A STOP reply works on texts that really came from us, as the privacy policy says; for a number you do not recognise, follow the FTC and do not respond.
• →Send nothing. No payment, card details, bank details or photos of identity documents. If you already paid, the FTC says to contact the company you used to send the money right away, whether a card, an app, a wire, a gift card or cryptocurrency, and to report the fraud and ask for the payment to be reversed if that is possible. If you shared a Social Security number or financial details, the FTC's alert on job texts that ask for a Social Security number points to IdentityTheft.gov for a report and a recovery plan.
• →Report it. The FTC's job scams page names ReportFraud.ftc.gov and your state attorney general as the places to report; the FTC's text alert adds that an unwanted text can be forwarded to 7726, the number it gives for spam.
• →Tell us. Email recruiting@knockfiber.com with the message, the number and when it arrived, so we know our name is being used and can check whether the message was ours.

Who this page does not fit

• –You never applied and are just looking for work. The page helps you check a message you received; it cannot turn a stranger's message into a verified one on your behalf.
• –You are checking a different recruiter or company. It vouches for KnockFiber only, though the FTC and attorney-general advice above applies to any recruiter.
• –You want a start date, a placement or an income promised before you decide. Nobody honest can give you that, and we do not.
• –You have already paid someone or handed over account details. Go to the steps for that in the section above, and to the FTC, before anything else.
