Job scams advertise or offer employment that promises high pay for little effort. Criminals may seek recruitment fees, personal information, access to accounts, or use of your account to move money.

Warning signs

  • You are offered a job you did not apply for or hired before an interview.
  • You must pay an onboarding fee or buy products or equipment.
  • You are asked to use your personal bank or cryptocurrency account for company funds.
  • The employer has no verifiable address or the offer is not addressed to you.

Stay safe

  • Research the employer through independently verified contact details.
  • Never pay to obtain a job or transfer funds through your personal account.
  • Treat social-media side-hustles and encrypted-message offers with caution.
  • Report suspicious listings to the platform where they appeared.
