Learn how to avoid job scams
Upfront Payment Requests
Legitimate employers never ask you to pay for training, equipment, or background checks before hiring.
⚠️ Real jobs pay YOU, not the other way around
Personal Info Too Soon
If they ask for SSN, passport, or banking details before an interview, walk away.
⚠️ No real job asks for SSN in the first message
Poor Communication
Grammar errors, generic greetings ("Dear Friend"), and odd phrasing are hallmarks of scam outreach.
⚠️ "Hello Dear" is a classic scam opener
Artificial Urgency
Scammers pressure you with "limited slots" or "expires in 24 hours" to stop you thinking critically.
⚠️ Real jobs give you time to decide
Free Email Domains
Recruiters contacting you from Gmail or Yahoo — not a corporate domain — is a major warning sign.
⚠️ Real companies use their own email domain
No Online Presence
Can't find the company on Google, LinkedIn, or their own website? It may not exist.
⚠️ Real companies have a verifiable footprint
Offer Without Interview
Hired after a single message with no real interview? Legitimate employers vet candidates properly.
⚠️ No interview = almost always a scam
Research the Company
Check their official website, LinkedIn, and Glassdoor. Search "[Company] + scam" to see what others report.
✓ Look for 100+ employees and years of history
Verify the Contact
Never click email links. Find the company number on their official site, call, and ask about the role.
✓ Scammers use lookalike domains to deceive
Expect a Real Interview
Legitimate hiring includes a screening call, skills test, multiple rounds, and a written offer.
⚠️ Skipped interviews = likely a scam
Never Send Money Back
Some scams send you a fake check, then ask you to forward part. The check bounces — your money is gone.
⚠️ If they ask you to send money, it's a scam
Use Secure Payments
If payment is ever required, only use a credit card. Never wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards.
⚠️ Wire transfers and crypto cannot be reversed
Trust Your Gut
If it feels too good, too rushed, too vague, or too demanding — it probably is. Your instincts matter.
✓ Your intuition is usually right
Check the Official Site
Go directly to the company website (don't click email links). Verify the job exists on their careers page.
LinkedIn Verification
Real companies have established profiles with many employees and active recent posts. New or sparse profiles are a red flag.
Call the Company
Use the number from their official website. Ask HR if they're hiring for this role and get the recruiter's direct email.
Check Business Records
Search your state's business registry and the BBB (BBB.org) to confirm the company is registered and in good standing.
Domain Age Check
Use whois.com to check when the domain was registered. Brand-new domains or those owned by individuals are suspicious.
The Final Checklist
Before accepting: written offer ✓, verified company ✓, spoke to real employees ✓, no money or PII requested ✓.
