Spot Fake Job Offers

1

Research the company independently—verify contact info on their official website, not the job posting

2

Never pay upfront for equipment, training, or background checks

3

Be suspicious of offers with no interview, vague job descriptions, or pressure to act fast

4

Don't share sensitive info (SSN, bank details) until you've verified the company's legitimacy

5

Watch for red flags: generic emails, spelling errors, or communication only through messaging apps
