In the current digital era, there are increasing employment scams around the job market. Such scams can take many forms, including phony job advertising and work-from-home schemes, which can be challenging to uncover.

Sadly, many job seekers fall for these frauds, which cost them money, effort, and personal information.

On the Better Business Bureau’s list of the top 5 riskiest scams, job scams come in at number three. Ages 25 to 34 are most vulnerable, and victims lose $274 on average due to employment scams.

Re-shipping, mystery shopping, and automobile wrapping scams are just a few of the many varieties of job fraud that can be difficult to spot as fake. For instance, some con artists may write a job posting and reply to your application immediately with a job offer.

Here are a few tips to avoid a job scam.

Never accept a job offer you weren’t asked for from someone you don’t know.
Before applying for a job, always do your homework at the firm. Look at its website, conduct a web search, and look for Glassdoor reviews. Avoid if there is no information available or if the information conflicts with the job posting.
Ensure the email address and signature are real if you get an email responding to your job application. Double-check the domain even if the email address appears correct and is not from Gmail or Yahoo. Scammers occasionally utilize domains that are strikingly similar to real ones.
Be wary of email templates. Scammers need more specific information to spread their message widely. Be on the lookout for emails that sound extremely generic.
Incorrect email addresses or domain names. Look for misspelled email addresses from Capleo Global or other companies (such as gmail.com or yahoo.com).
Any inquiry regarding money or payment. No one will ever be required to pay our recruiters to apply for a job or as a condition of employment. For instance, Capleo Global will cover the cost of any necessary background checks.
If a job posting promises extraordinarily high pay for a position that requires “no skills or experience,” it is probably a scam.
