During modern times like these, when every little thing is available a click away, even job seekers are able to find vacancies anywhere in the world. Just as the internet makes life easy, it also at times, creates problems too. Job searchers frequently get phony offers on email. While some are easy to spot, others may not be so. While the web has helped job searchers discover openings from any place, it has, on the other hand, made them more powerless against scammers. The most important sign to look out for is the push towards payments or blackmailing cash. If you find yourself in a situation where somebody is forcing you to pay any sort of cash to get you into a job you should not accept it under any circumstance. Things go from bad to worse when fake recruiters and hackers use these job portals and websites to play out their fraudulence. However tight we secure the posting process and the job posts, they still slip through a lot. After applying for jobs or during your search, you may be contacted by recruiters who are considering you for the job. It is imperative to be very careful during this part of the process. Report whatever details you get to the authorities. With that, here’s the way you can recognize counterfeit new employee screening calls and occupation tricks:
• The recruiter sounds unprofessional and is not able to explain the role and responsibilities of the job. They offer an interview at an office that does not look professional either.
• The recruiter asks for personal information way too much.
• The recruiter asks for various payments like registration fee, application fee, etc. and claims to have forwarded your resume. They also guarantee interview calls within a few days.
• The recruiter forces for the registration or application fee during or after the interview. Those who pay are often asked to complete certification and courses for which they have to pay more hefty amounts.
• Fraud job offer emails for the most part don’t provide clear details regarding the job, organization and salary. The substance of the email would be ambiguous and muddled. You may not be able to identify what the job requires.
• If you are asked to pay cash as part of the job offer, it’s definitely a fake job call. No authentic organization requests cash for the sake of bond or security stores ahead of time. If you receive such a call, make sure to stay away from it and try to report it.
• For the most part, these messages would land in your spam mail folder as they are usually sent out in bulk.
• In such cases, the Email address from which the mail was sent would be misleading. You would discover an email address where the name of the organization would be shown like this ‘@abc.com’. However, an authentic organization won’t utilize Gmail or Yahoo Mail or Hotmail to offer jobs to candidates.
• Usually such mails would be full of grammatical and spelling errors. If you receive such a mail and notice a lot of mistakes, undoubtedly it is a phony organization.
• If you are asked to disclose your birth date, social security number or any other sensitive details, the company may be a fake one. Companies usually request such details only after an interview, while offering the job. They will ask for such details only in the next stage for background checks.
To be on the safer side, it is better to do a little research about the organization prior to applying. Check whether there are openings on their official website. Compare the contact details you got from the mail with the one on their official website. When you get such scammy or shady-looking e-mails, make sure to report them to the authorities.
