* Advisory:- Please do not pay any money to anyone who promises
to find you a job. This could be in the form of a registration fee, or document processing fee or visa
charges or any other pretext. The money could be asked for upfront or it could be asked after trust has been built after some
correspondence has been exchanged. Also please note that in case you get a job offer or a letter of intent without having
been through an interview process it is probably a scam!!
-> How can you check if an employer or a recruiter is a fraud or genuine? Below are a few things we can suggest you could try (you are encouraged to exhaust all possible ways, not just be limited to the following) to ascertain the legitimacy of the employers who contact you:
1. Have you heard the name of the company before?
2. Do you remember applying to this particular company or did the offer come unsolicited?
3. Does the domain name in their email address match the name of the company? For example if you get a job offer from XYZ Petroleum Company, and their email ID is
xyzpetroleum@gmail.com
or
xyzpetroleum@yahoo.com
then it’s a fake company. Real companies use their own domain name on their email, and do not use free email providers.
4. Search on Yahoo, Google or MSNto see if the company has a genuine website. Also check if other people have reported that the employer has been involved in job scams previously.
5. Note the country that company claims to be working in, and
offering you a job in. Most fake companies offer scam jobs in Africa, Middle East, Asia, South America, and to a much smaller
extent, US or Western Europe.
6. Find out if you need to pay the company for anything. If they ask you to pay - at first or even after
some time - for visa, work permit or for travel, chances are it's a fake company.
We encourage you to be wary of emails that
· ask your personal, non-work related information such as Credit Card numbers or Bank information over phone or email ·
do not provide valid contact information
· ask for monetary transactions, money-transfers, or payment for any employment/recruitment related purpose
· promise emigration and ask
for money to process visa, etc
Before you respond to such emails, we suggest you to do a discreet enquiry and be sure to verify the legitimacy of the employer with whom you are interacting.
Stay Safe ….
Have great day!
