How to Identify Job Scams
Some telltale signs indicate a job posting is probably a scam:
1. The ad uses words that are probably too good to be true: quick money, unlimited earning potential, free work-from-home jobs.
2. 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.
3. The job post or email has obvious grammatical or spelling errors.
4. You’re offered the job without a recruiter verifying your work experience or asking for references.
5. The “company” has an email domain from Gmail or other popular providers.
6. The job description is unusually vague.
7. The job requires upfront expenses from candidates.
8. The job claims to pay a lot of money for little work.
9. The company markets their “rags-to-riches” stories as a selling point.
10. The product the company sells is supposedly endorsed by celebrities or public figures.
