Fake Job Offers: How to Spot Them

Written by

Searching for a job? Be wary of offers that require you to pay money to get hired.

Job scams target job seekers by offering high-paying jobs for little work. The catch? You have to pay first.

The 'Registration Fee' Scam

Recruiters ask for a registration fee, security deposit, or money for a 'laptop'. Legitimate companies never ask you to pay to work for them.

Work From Home Scams

Also known as 'task-based' scams. You are asked to review products or like videos for money. Initially, you may get small payouts, but soon you're asked to 'invest' a larger amount to unlock higher tiers.
