How to Spot and Avoid Job Scams

As job searches move online, fake listings and placement scams have multiplied. Knowing the warning signs protects both your money and your data.

No genuine job charges a fee

Any 'employer' asking for a registration, training or security deposit is a scam. Real companies pay you, not the reverse.

Verify before you trust

Confirm the company, the recruiter and the offer through official channels before sharing documents or personal details.

Quick tips

  • Never pay money to get a job
  • Verify the company independently
  • Be wary of unrealistic salaries
  • Guard your personal documents
