Protect Yourself from Employment Fraud

Finding a job can be a frustrating experience that exposes you to the danger of fraud. When job hunting, beware of employment scams. Here are some:

  • You are told to pay a fee in order to apply for a job.
  • You are asked to give your personal information “for the human resources department.” Actually the intention is to steal your identity.
  • You receive a job offer that promises a large pay cheque in return for little or no work.
  • The employer offering you a job has no physical address or contact person.

For more information on how to protect yourself from fraud or what to do if you are a victim of fraud, check out our Fraud section.
