Job scam

A job scam is a deceptive offer or hiring approach intended to obtain money, personal information, account access, or another benefit through false claims.

What to know in practice

Warning signs can include pressure, unverifiable identities, requests for passwords or one-time codes, and payment demands tied to a promised job or visa. One clue alone does not prove fraud, so verify independently.

Never pay someone for a guaranteed job or visa. Save evidence and use relevant official reporting channels if you suspect fraud.
