Every year many people lose money to fake job offers abroad. Here are simple signs that an offer may not be genuine.
Warning signs
- You get a job offer without any interview.
- The agent asks for a large payment in cash with no receipt.
- The salary sounds too good for the job.
- The company name, address or website cannot be found.
- You are told to travel on a tourist visa and change it later.
How to stay safe
- Ask for the employer’s full details and check them online.
- Never hand over your original passport to an unknown agent.
- Always take written receipts for any payment.
- For jobs abroad, check that the recruiting agent is registered on the eMigrate portal of the Government of India.
