9 Warning Signs of a Job Scam include:

Now, although job scams come in many forms, there are still some warning signs that can help you identify one. 

So, if you notice any of the following when you receive an offer or see a tempting listing, then it’s most likely a job scam: 

1. You are contacted through non-company email domains and teleconference applications (e.g. an actual IBM recruiter would contact you using a company email such as johndoe@ibm.com, as opposed to johndoeibm@gmail.com) 
2. You are required to purchase start-up equipment from the company, such as is the case with assembling products work-from-home job scams. 
3. You are asked to pay a non-refundable registration fee. 
4. You are required to provide your bank account information (before you start working). 
5. You receive an employment contract to sign in advance, asking for Personal Identifiable Information such as your SSN and your bank details.
6. Job postings appear on job boards, but not on the companies’ websites.
7. Your potential employer is using a slightly altered website, such as www.2micro-soft.com and not www.microsoft.com 
8. The email or job ad is full of errors and the job description and requirements are vague.
9. The potential employer shows a sense of urgency to hire you, such as listings that hire immediately, or within the same week of application. 
10. The job requirements apply to literally any candidate but offer very good pay.
