Job Scam
Safeguard yourself from fraudulent job offers!
Recognize the warning signs of job scams and prevent loss of personal data, time and money.
How to spot and avoid job scams?
- Beware of unrealistic job postings: If the job posting promises an unusually high salary, little effort or qualifications required, or a guarantee of employment, it is likely to be a scam.
- Research the company: Check the company's website, social media pages, and reviews to verify if the company and job offer is legitimate.
- Don't pay any upfront fees: Legitimate employers will never ask you to pay for anything upfront for a background check or training program.
- Protect your personal information: Never share your sensitive information such as Aadhaar/PAN/Bank account details unless you are confident about the company's legitimacy.
- Be wary of unsolicited emails: Be cautious of emails from companies you have not applied to. Scammers use fake emails to trick job seekers into sharing their personal information.
- Be cautious of fake interviews: Scammers conduct fake interviews to gain access to your personal information or convince you to pay for a background check or training program.
- Check for spelling and grammar mistakes: Poor grammar or spelling mistakes in the job posting or email is a sign that the posting may be fake.
