Job Scam
WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Job fraud is the scamming of people who are seeking employment or already employed, giving them false hope of earning wages of which they are often desperately in need.
The scammer contacts victims via Email or phone.
Fraudsters use numerous schemes such as easy hire, easy work, flexible hours or other attractive offers to lure victims.
Virtually all of them ask victims to pay money as a security deposit, bonds etc.
HOW DO WE MITIGATE IT?
Research the company to ensure they are authentic.
No real company hires you without a face to face interview/video conference.
An email or telephone interview is always the sign of a scam!
No real company charges any money for a job or for visa or work permit.
Be cautious when dealing with individuals outside of your own country.
