Advisory

Fake Job Offers and Foreign Recruitment Scams

Unexpected job offers often use attractive salaries and small upfront fees to build trust.

Check the employer's real domain, published vacancies and recruitment process. Be cautious when communication stays on messaging apps or payment is requested for processing, equipment or visas.

Do not send identity documents until the organisation and purpose are independently verified.

Key points

  • ✓ Verify the employer domain
  • ✓ Never pay to secure an interview
  • ✓ Limit identity-document sharing
  • ✓ Check recruitment claims independently
