How to Prevent from any Job Scam


Today in the world of opportunities, there is numerous kinds of jobs available for youth and skilled persons. If a person is educated and skilled enough there is no scarcity of jobs for that person. But there is still a force of people who are not well educated or their education does not match with the demand. In this case they are in the state of compromise and they have to work on lower wages sometime. There are many scammers who want to take the advantage of this situation. There are number of ways the scammers attract these unemployed or underemployed people to cheat.

I would like to share some tips and by following them a normal person at least could avoid the chanced of being cheated by these scammers.


• If you get an email, where you are being provided a huge salary even over the market level be cautious, that can be a scam. See the “from” address of the mail body, where from the mail has come and analyze if this is really from the source company genuine email id.
• If you get any email of job and you are asked for money for your travel or air ticket expenses. Never believe on them, if it happens ever, any good company will never ask for money to you and if you go for interview, this will be reimbursed.
• If you asked for a deposit initially before joining in any organization, then this could be an alarm for you. Either you will be paid earlier by your deposit or maybe they could run away using multiple deposits of people like you.
• Avoid those job offers, where your skill or education is not suited, that could become a scam later.
• Do not pay money for any kind of job opportunity, unless you are sure about the provider.
• Always visit the place and ask employees and surrounding people about any company who is going to offer you any job, this will prevent you to be scammed.
• Ask for offer letter and appointment letter. This will assure your formal joining and you could not be scammed easily.


There are also other kinds of job scams but they can be avoided only by open eyes and ears. Hope these tips could help people somewhat.
