legendary losers that particularly seek out victims at their lowest possibly job hunting for 6-24+ months realistically these days. even with dodging the scam, the time is still wasted and that adds up...

The scary part is a scammer can apply for credit cards, loans, and bank accounts in your name with the information they are asking for on these job applications.

Freeze your credit with the three major credit bureaus. It's free, and you can temporarily unfreeze it when applying for a job, renting an apartment, etc. Of course, scammers gonna scam and always come up with new ways to steal. We all just have to remain vigilant.

No way you can think that if an employer is asking you for money, it would not be a scam.

I had applied for a job last week. I did the application online. After I was done with the application they asked a few more questions, they were so personal I cringed and completely exit the application. Don’t feel like given my personal information if there isn’t a job offer. It’s scary out there with all these scammers. Be vigilant!!!

Real companies would never ask for those private information like credit card info or social security numbers. They would ask for your social security number in person and return the card back to you. And you are given the option to direct deposit the money to your bank account, or they will just create a new pay card just for you. No charge. If the company falls short, then it’s likely a scam.

Those are fake recruiters, none of the real ones ask for a SSN. Don't even give the last 4 digits that can be used in all kinds of malicious ID verification processes. Some even have the nerve to beg "oh don't worry, it's safe with us" - kiss my grits.

We live in a twisted world. This is such a terrible time to live in. People are so vulnerable and people are trying. I believe that people do want to work AND live a stable life where money isn’t a fight to get. I believe that the average American really doesn’t want to ball out from a 9 to 5.

All the more reason to not leave your resumé public. It sounds counter-conducive, but that's where they pool a lot of targets for these phishing scams. Use reputable employment agencies as you actively search, go directly to local job fairs where you can also ask questions, and family and friends can help too.

Scammers are evil 😈 doers! 😳

Victims of job scams need to go talk and receive help in finding decent local/online jobs from their friends, family members, and neighbors. The job scammers and other evildoers are going to pay and suffer for their malicious/evil actions.

If it seems to good to be true or too simple it probably is a scam.

Remote job scams. SMH!

Employers discriminate against you before you even interview and in some cases they target their children. And afterwards too if they can recycle you.

Seriously if im looking for a job why would you think I have money to pay you

You can see how desperate people are when a "company" hires you without making you go through a strenuous process, or ask for your bank account (how about no?), or even, asking you to pay (ponzi scheme)

i encountered it about three times, the first time i was scammed over 6000 dollars, and I was able to spot the second time told the company their name was being used, and the third time it typically involves a fake check

They shouldn't ask for banking info until after the job offer.

I just got a job that didn’t require an interview they immediately told me to bring my 2 forms of ID certificates and that’s it did the application in house some jobs don’t require an interview especially in nursing

Why would you give away that kind of info?!?!?! Do legitimate businesses ask for that info in America???

Yeah, this is legit advice - not racist. I'd rather be safe than worry about the identity politics of surprise recruiters for companies I never applied for.

People have given SS number, bank account number, and/or give credit card info. to, basically .... strangers?!?

Please do your research if that job isn’t listed on the original website don’t apply, call company and ask questions about position you see. Save yourself the headache

What a time to be alive 😢

Most reach out by surprise, apply directly to actual companies. Verify with HR but there's a huge chance it's already a scam if it came by surprise. I had a few scammers impersonating actual employees at real companies - the actual companies were able to confirm right away, absolutely horrible. Hope the scammers get prosecuted for already leveraging identity fraud to commit more ...

I had this happen via email and they sent me a check to buy equipment. Instead of giving me the equipment. It was a scam to get my bank info. Luckily, my bank blamed me for the scam and closed my account.

People should learn to keep things about them secret.

thing is this is really nothing new - it's BEEN going on since the early 1990's when jobs started being exported to third world countries - the internet just gave the idea more power and more prey

You can’t trust no one you can’t trust your email or your phone don’t talk to no one you don’t know

How do u apply by putting yr own personal account or yr saving bank account? I applied to the jobs website but it didn’t said *u need to apply with yr bank account😥* who do that?
