BE AWARE WITH JOB SCAM IN ONLINE

 A job scam is a false offer of employment meant to deceive those looking for real work. The goal of scammers is frequently to trick job searchers into parting with money, personal information, or free work. 

Scammers post job openings online (via advertisements, employment sites, and social media), in newspapers, and occasionally on television and radio, just like legitimate companies do. They claim to have a job for you, but all they really want is your money and private data. 

Scams that operate from home take use of psychological weaknesses. Scammers employ dishonest techniques like social media advertisements, email phishing, and phony websites. They instill a sense of urgency and present profitable chances to take advantage of people's financial demands and aspirations for a quick income.

How to be safe from job scams on social media

1. Examine the job description. Some social media sites, such as Glassdoor and LinkedIn, are mentioned for job searching. To reach a larger audience, people often advertise openings on Facebook and Instagram. Read the job description to determine whether the position is genuine or fraudulent. Scammers occasionally use clickbait job titles and salaries to try to trick people, but they never create a job description or one that is unrelated to the job title that is advertised.

2. Look up the company's name online. This is because a link to the company's career website or information about the company may be a phishing attempt. Nowadays, scammers attempt to make everything seem real. Thus, always make an effort to look and confirm.

3. Verify the URL: Scammers frequently imitate the names and websites of well-known businesses. The landing page nearly has the appearance of a legitimate website. However, by reading the web URL, you can verify validity. Additionally, examine the content of the website and search for faults, such as grammatical ones.

4. Avoid clicking on links or prompt advertisements from unidentified or unreliable sources.

5.Avoid job titles that demand payment in exchange for a guarantee of employment.

What To Do if You Paid a Scammer

Regardless of the method of payment—debit or credit card, wire transfer or mobile payment app, gift card, cash reload card, or cryptocurrency—get in touch with the business that handled the transaction right once, report the fraud, and request that the transaction be reversed, if at all feasible.
