Contact Hijacking: Once you sign in with Google or a third-party account, it automatically accesses your contact list and sends mass requests "on your behalf" without your explicit knowledge. Phishing & Spam: Your contacts are targeted with fake endorsement or professional networking requests.

⭐ (1 star) — Unauthorized emails sent to my entire contact list without consent I never authorized Gainrep to contact my business contacts. Without my permission, a company representative used or obtained my contact list and sent unsolicited emails to those individuals on the company's behalf. This is a serious breach of trust and privacy. I have filed complaints with the FTC and my state Attorney General. I would strongly caution any business from sharing contact data or granting this company access to their accounts. Proceed with extreme caution.

Do not Accept anything from this website or email. I’ve been hacked on my phone for a year now. This group of people are legit creeps. I use Xfinity WiFi the one you can purchase every month. I got this email around 4am followed by a honk outside my apartment After I accepted this email my wifi would disconnect on my phone whenever I was In my room. Then honks will continue to happen as if someone was watching me through my phone not making this up. These people are feds. Thankfully I moved from that apartment and the WiFi disconnection has stopped. Still I know that after receiving this email my privacy has been I big factor to keep. I now have tape on all cameras and microphone on my phone no joke. The people that are behind this website is the US government.

This site behaves like a phishing site accessing contacts without permission and demanding money from them. I regret the moment I ever clicked on an email from this highly dodgy organisation. Avoid at all costs and don’t trust them with your data.

This is a spam website that emails all your contacts without your consent, even when you have disconnected it from your account. I did not undertake any of the steps that the GainRep response suggests are required to trigger emails to your contacts.

I received an email to endorse a friend. I endorsed him and all of a sudden. Everybody's getting emails from me to endorse me. I did not approve this. This is a scam and I don't appreciate them. Sending emails without my authority.I would not trust this website

Intentionally Deceptive Practices I am among those caught in the spam email loop. I was sent multiple "Quick endorsement requests" from someone over a span of months, with the requests increasing to a weekly frequency in March 2026. The pushiness of it annoyed me, and because this is a person I only semi-regularly speak to, I clicked in an attempt to get them off my back. That process introduced me to a confusing experience that made it seem like you needed to opt-in to share your contacts in order to complete the review process. In addition to not seeming like a choice, the language did not indicate that they'd be sending emails within hours of registration to your entire contact list. Even if I was a real person using this service, no realistic job seeker would want to spam their entire contact list for what is essentially an unprompted digital letter of recommendation. So why is it set up that way if this is a legitimate company? Furthermore, the email that is dispatched notes at the bottom in bold: "You’re receiving this because [Name] entered your email." I may have given "access" to my contacts inadvertently, but I never actively entered anyone's email anywhere, certainly not to spam them for a recommendation I don't need on a website I've never heard of. More deceptive behavior. When I reached out to the person I thought had sent requests to me, they indicated they were not personally sending the requests (so no reason for me to suddenly start getting them once a week this month) and were unsure of how to stop it. I shared with them a process I found online, and have completed all of it minus the deletion of my account. After seeing other people who this happened to say GainRep was still sending emails using their names months after they had deleted, I want in writing from the company an assurance that my contacts will never be contacted by them or anyone they may have sold those email addresses to in any manner ever again before I delete the evidence/hub of these actions. I have sent a support chat message and an email about this in addition to this review. Until I get a response and action is taken to confirm my contact list will not be spammed/phished, I stand by those calling it a spam/phishing attempt as it appears as if they're participating in intentionally deceptive behavior in order to harvest people's contact lists.

I was contacted by someone I have never heard of asking for an endorsement. Now I have to go to Google and deal with changing my security choices. It is REALLY irritating!
