How to Identify Job Scams
Some telltale signs indicate a job posting is probably a scam:
- The ad uses words that are probably too good to be true: quick money, unlimited earning potential, free work-from-home jobs.
- There is a sense of urgency, or the recruiter is pushing you to accept the job now. Any legitimate company won’t push you into accepting a job offer immediately.
- The job post or email has obvious grammatical or spelling errors.
- You’re offered the job without a recruiter verifying your work experience or asking for references.
- The “company” has an email domain from Gmail or other popular providers.
- The job description is unusually vague.
- The job requires upfront expenses from candidates.
- The job claims to pay a lot of money for little work.
- The company markets their “rags-to-riches” stories as a selling point.
- The product the company sells is supposedly endorsed by celebrities or public figures.
