Job Scam - Credit Reports
In a common credit report scam, the scammer claims that an examination of your credit history is necessary to verify your eligibility for the position. They may say that the job requires someone who's financially responsible. The fake employer might then ask you to pay for a credit report with your credit card, which results in their charging an unauthorized fee for it. Otherwise, they may suggest using a specific service to obtain the credit report, which you end up paying for in addition to other charges.
While real employers do sometimes perform credit checks on employees, very rarely do they ask the candidate to cover the cost. Credible companies typically handle credit checks on their own.
