Online Job Fraud
Fraudsters post fake job listings on social media and job portals, offering high-paying work-from-home jobs. They ask candidates to pay registration fees, training charges, or security deposits. After payment, the "company" disappears.
Common red flags:
- Unrealistically high salary for simple tasks
- Upfront payment required for registration or training
- Communication only through WhatsApp or Telegram
- No proper company website or office address
- Pressure to pay quickly
How to Protect Yourself
- Legitimate companies never ask for money to hire you
- Research the company thoroughly before applying
- Be wary of jobs that seem too good to be true
- Never pay for job offers or training upfront
- Verify company details on MCA website
