What is a job scam?

You receive an unsolicited job offer via messaging apps, social media, etc.

Very often, potential ‘employers’ will offer high pay with very little time commitment or effort.

There are a number of different job scams. ‘Affiliate Marketing’ jobs where you are asked to pay for products in advance to boost the sales of sellers in return for commission. ‘

Agent’ jobs require you to process fund transfers using your personal bank account, then transfer the money through online banking or money transfer services such as Western Union or MoneyGram.

Applicants for jobs like ‘Assistant Purchaser’, ‘Stock Takers’ or ‘Trial Participant’ may be asked to reveal details like name, identity card number, phone security code or OTPs. This allows the scammers to access your mobile phone to make online purchases.
