Beware of job scams 

Scams are increasingly common nowadays and anyone may end up being targeted by individuals or companies trying to collect personal information or money. They may ask for bank account or credit card details, and request payment as part of their false recruitment process. Once the payment has been made, you are unlikely to be paid back or have any real employment guaranteed.

Here are some helpful tips on what to look out for:

• Research the company. Look for information about the company online and check their website, social media accounts, and reviews.

• Watch out for red flags. Misspelled words, poor grammar, absence of names, phone numbers or addresses may be a sign that the person contacting you is not associated with the company.

• Don't share personal information. Do not provide share information such as ID numbers, bank account or credit card details until you have verified the legitimacy of the employer and the job offer.

• Do not pay for a job. Legitimate employers will not request any sort of payment for a job.
