The number of fake job offers circulating online is rising worldwide. Scammers design professional emails and offer letters that trick even experienced professionals.
This guide explains how to detect job offer scams before they cost you money or identity.
Warning Signs of a Fake Job Offer
- No formal interview
- Immediate hiring promises
- Payment requests
- Free email accounts
- No company verification
Check the Recruiter’s Identity
Real recruiters use official company domains. Always verify the email address and search the recruiter on LinkedIn.
Domain Verification Rule
- ❌ hr.company@gmail.com
- ✅ hr@company.com
Domain mismatch is a major scam signal.
Never Pay for Employment
Legitimate employers pay you — not the other way around. Any payment request confirms a scam.
Final Advice
Trust but verify. A few minutes of research can prevent serious damage. Smart professionals double-check every offer.
