More tips to spot job scams

To help distinguish legitimate recruitment from fraudulent activity, watch for:

Unrealistic promises

Claims of guaranteed jobs or income.

Lack of transparency

No clear company name, contact information or verifiable website.

Requests for payment

Genuine employers never charge fees during recruitment.

Poor communication

Messages with spelling or grammar errors, vague job details or unprofessional tone.

Pressure to act quickly

Scammers discourage you from taking time to research.

Suspicious application steps

Requests for sensitive personal information before an official offer.

Inconsistent branding

Low quality or altered logos that do not match the organization’s official website.
