Tips:

• Do not do any payments upfront: When payment is requested for training materials, starter kit, or other items it could be a scam. Beware of words in the job description, such as wire transfers, PayPal, eBay, package forwarding, or money transfers, these are indicators of a scam


• Check employer details: Is the company registered company or an agent a registered agent? Check the address and the telephone number is it landline or cellphone number.


• Check email address. If you receive an unsolicited e-mail and it comes from a free domain e-mail address (e.g., gmail.com, hotmail.com, or yahoo.com) it could be a scam. If the name of the e-mail signature does not match the name of the e-mail, this may be a scam. Never click on a link in an e-mail from someone you do not know, it could be a virus or other malicious software.


• Protect your personal information. Beware for requests for personal information via e-mail, such as a copy of your ID, bank account information, can be used by identity thieves.


• No such thing as guaranteed job. Legitimate employers do not promise a job before discussing your skills and experience.
