Job fraud occurs when individuals or organizations attempt to deceive job seekers to gain money, personal information, or other benefits. Fraudulent job postings may promise high salaries, fake offers, or work-from-home opportunities to lure victims.
Some red flags include requests for upfront payments, unrealistic salary offers, vague job descriptions, unsolicited job offers, and suspicious email addresses or domains.
Always verify the company’s legitimacy, avoid sharing sensitive information, and consult trusted sources before accepting job offers. Report suspicious activity to relevant authorities.
Check the official company website, LinkedIn profiles, and online reviews to ensure the job posting is authentic.
Legitimate employers do not ask for fees for job placement or training.
Do not share sensitive information such as bank details, Aadhaar number, or passwords with unknown sources.
Always communicate via company emails and official job portals.
Notify authorities or job portal support if you encounter fraudulent postings.
