Getting job offers that are way too good to be true.
How Does It Happen?
Here is how Job Scams unfold.
Example of a scammer pretending to be the HR personnel of a company that's offering high pay for easy tasks:
1
Scammers pose as HR representatives or agents, posting fake job listings on social media and legitimate job sites.
2
They entice victims to share personal info, money, or complete tasks under false pretenses.
3
They promise high pay or rewards for 'easy tasks' without prior interviews.
4
They might request upfront fees for job application processing, training materials, or related services. Then, they will vanish after receiving the payment.
5
They may also solicit your personal banking details for further scams.
