At DeepLearning.AI, we are fully committed to providing a secure, welcoming, and supportive environment for all our learners, Mentors, and Testers. To help keep our Forum safe, please review these important guidelines on how to spot and handle suspicious activity.
How to Spot a Scammer
Scammers often try to exploit the helpful nature of our community. Be on the lookout for accounts that:
-
Request Personal or Financial Information: DeepLearning.AI staff, Mentors, or Testers will never ask for your passwords, credit card details, or sensitive personal information via private message or public posts.
-
Direct You to External Payment Links: All legitimate details regarding our learning platform, including subscription options, can only be found on our official Membership Page. Official course listings are located exclusively on our Courses Page. Do not trust external links claiming to sell access.
-
Offer “Guaranteed” Job Placements or Paid Certificates: Be skeptical of users claiming they can sell you official AI certificates or guarantee employment in exchange for money.
Best Practices for Forum Safety
-
Keep Communications on the Forum: Avoid moving technical or course-related conversations to unverified third-party chat apps (like WhatsApp, Telegram, or Discord) with users you don’t know.
-
Protect Your Privacy: Do not publicly post your email address, phone number, or course enrollment keys in discussion threads.
-
Verify Official Roles: True DeepLearning.AI staff members and official Mentors will have distinct, verified badges next to their names on the Forum.

If you receive a suspicious private message or notice a post that doesn’t seem right, please flag it immediately using the Forum reporting tool or reach out directly to the Community team.
Reminder: Staying vigilant helps us maintain a high-quality, trustworthy space where everyone can confidently advance their skills in AI!
