Job Scammers are looking to hire you!

Scammers are always “hiring” but don’t actually want to employ you. Instead, they want your money, personal information, or both. Here’s how to spot and avoid a job scam.

How do you know if that job offer is a scam?

1. Look at the sender's email address. Is the email from a business or personal email? Recruiters will generally email from a corporate email account, not from a personal email like @gmail.com or @yahoo.com.

2. They ask for your personal information BEFORE you interview. Scammers will ask for your driver's license, SSN, or bank account number to fill out "employment paperwork". Your sensitive information might be the focus of your "interview" and they might ask to get that information before they talk to you about job duties.

3. Check out the recruiter. Search online the name of the recruiter or their company to see what you find about them. Type the name with words like "scam" or "complaint".
