Job Scams

Job scams are deceptive practices where individuals or companies mislead job seekers to gain personal or financial benefits. Scammers may advertise fake job opportunities, ask for upfront payments for training or materials, or steal personal information under the guise of a legitimate job application. These scams often promise high pay for minimal work or promise quick employment, but ultimately aim to exploit the victim. Recognizing such scams involves being cautious of overly generous offers, verifying the employer’s legitimacy, and avoiding payments or sharing sensitive information early in the hiring process.
