How to Spot Fake Job Offers
Rozgaar Setu team · Updated
Most employers are genuine, but job scams do happen, and they usually target people who urgently need work. Knowing the warning signs protects your money and your personal details.
Warning signs
- Being asked to pay — a registration fee, “processing” charge, deposit or money for training or a uniform before you start
- Pay that is far higher than similar jobs, for very little work
- Pressure to decide immediately or to keep the offer secret
- Being asked for bank passwords, OTPs or card details
- No clear workplace address or business name
Never share these
No genuine employer needs your bank PIN, net-banking password, card CVV or the one-time codes (OTPs) sent to your phone. Anyone asking for them is not hiring you.
