Fake job offers are common. Know the warning signs.
Warning signs
- You are asked to pay for training, equipment, a visa, a background check or “registration”.
- The offer arrives before any real interview.
- You are asked to deposit a cheque, receive money, or move money for the employer.
- The sender uses a free personal email address instead of a company address, or the website address is slightly different from the real one.
- You are pressed to decide in hours or to move the conversation to a private chat.
What to do
- Stop and do not send money or identity documents.
- Check the company’s real website and contact them using details you find yourself.
- Report it to the platform where you saw it and to your local authorities.
- If it used our name, contact us.
