What it is?
A job scam involves fraudulent schemes where scammers pose as employers or recruiters to deceive job seekers. They may offer fake job opportunities to steal personal information or money.
How it works?
1. Scammers advertise fake job openings that seem too good to be true, often with high salaries or benefits.
2. Victims are asked to pay fees for training, background checks, or equipment before they can start the job.
3. After paying, victims either receive no job offer or discover that the job was a scam.
What do I do?
1. Be cautious of job offers that require payment for training, background checks, or other fees.
2. Verify the legitimacy of the employer or recruiter by checking their contact information and researching the company.
3. Avoid sharing personal information or making payments until you have confirmed the job opportunity is legitimate.
