WARNING!!

How do you know that a job offer is a scam, How to look for signals

Never deal with your money. The precious rule is, any job offer that need you to pay a fee in advance, is probably a scam. Most reputable companies will absorb these expenses themselves. Another warning sign, is if the recruiter offers to train you for the job, in return for money? Forget it.. No legitimate company or recruiter will ask for money in advance. Not for anything.

.Do some research on the company. Visit the company’s website. If they do not have one, or it does not have contact details, then you need to tread carefully. If there is a company website, compare the contact numbers, email addresses etc., to what would come out when doing a Google on the company or in a company directory.
Free email accounts. Any scout or company that appear from a free email account such as Yahoo, Live, Hotmail or Gmail and yes Facebook closed group is very likely a scammer. appropriate job related emails will come from corporate email accounts.
Do a Google search on the company. Do an investigation on the company name and see what information you can find. Compare it to the detail that you have been sent
Check scam lists. Always check with organizations reviews and recommendation. see if the company has been reported as a scammer
Offers without interviews. Bear in mind that reputable companies are not going to offer you a job without interviewing your first. Complimentary as it may seem that they were so dazzled with your resume, that they have award you a position without meeting you first, the reality is, that you are probably being scammed if this happens. Never, ever accept a job offer that has come through via email, when you have never had a telephonic or one on one interview.
Work from home. If this appears in the job title, the chances are very evidently that it could likely be a scam. The chances of making money in your shorts and sleeper may sound appealing, and the idea of making a lot of money at the same time being able to work from home is just too good to pass for many job seekers, and because of this, it is a favorite with scammers. Inexperience job seekers have been falling for this type of scam for years now.
Receiving proposal for jobs you did not apply for. If you receive an offer in your inbox for a job that you have not even applied for, and it sounds too good to be true, then it is too good to be true.
Salaries that are way over what you would usually earn. Getting paid a really high salary is not the standard for all job seekers. Any authentic employer will evaluate your skill set and experience, before deciding on what is your value. If the company offers you a salary that is completely out of your scope, and knowledge, you are apparently in the process of being scammed.
Don’t hand out personal data. Never part with your social security number or personal details. By disclosing this information, you may just be setting the display for the scammer to pose as you to apply for credit cards, and run up large bills in your name and destroy your credit record. The only time you should be handing over personal information such as social security numbers, is after you have been hired and are setting up payment and tax information.
Be careful of emails with grammatical and spelling mistakes. Most online fraud is carried out by scammers outside of the United States, with English normally not being their home language, so check the grammar and spelling carefully when communicating.
Fake URLs (websites). Scammers often use fake URLs to mask themselves as big well known corporates. Carefully check the URL, or the web address of the company. You may think that you are on a well-known company’s website, when you are actually on fake website. So always check the URL first.
Dubious crude job descriptions. If you read the job description and at the end of it, you are not really sure what the job actually require, or if the role states that there is no definite skill essential for the job, you are probably about to be scammed. The majority of jobs will require at least some background or aptitude.

The result of falling victim to scammers, can include identity theft, the loss of your hard earned money, and illegal charges to your credit card. It can be a very tough lesson to have to learn, and disastrous for already cash destitute job seekers. Don’t learn the hard way. Before becoming victim to decietful scammers, do your assignment and checks very meticulously.
