• Be wary of unsolicited job offers: If you haven’t actively applied for a job, be cautious of any unsolicited offers that come your way.
• Check the company’s legitimacy: Do some research on the company, and make sure that they have a valid website and contact information.
• Watch out for red flags: If a company is asking for personal information or money upfront, this is a major red flag.
• Verify the hiring process: Legitimate companies will typically have a rigorous hiring process that involves multiple interviews, reference checks and background checks.
• Report the scam: If you suspect that you have received a fraudulent job offer, report it to the relevant authorities, such as the police.
