Red Flags: 如何识别潜在的欺诈性招聘广告
The “employer” asks for, or posts… |
But in truth,… |
|
Legitimate jobs will not ask for this kind of information on an application, by phone, or email. |
|
合法的招聘人员与他们为之工作的公司直接相关. 因此,使用的电子邮件地址应该与公司的域名相匹配. The email should always come from an official email address that reflects the organization’s domain or a subsidiary of the organization. |
|
永远不要提前付款——他们想要进入你的银行账户和钱. |
|
合法的工作从不要求初始投资. However, some network marketing companies may ask you to pay a fee (or “pay a deposit”) to obtain their sample product for demonstration. 从本质上讲,他们仍然在向你要钱,这样你才能有一份工作. |
|
If the listed website is not working, does not exist, or the URL goes to another unassociated website, 那么这个就业机会很可能不是真的. |
|
如果雇主愿意,你真的想为他们工作? Poor spelling and grammar suggests the job announcement was written by a non-professional and therefore the job is probably not legitimate. |
|
这是为了吸引你,让你申请. 明智地思考——有多少合法公司能够负担得起低技能工作的高工资? Why would they pay these wages? |
|
Most formal jobs will have an office as your base. “Working from home” is often a “convenience hook” that takes advantage of people who want an easy job situation. 此外,在家工作迫使你使用你的个人资源. 然而,在家工作可能是合法的,所以仔细研究这些工作. |
|
合法雇主不需要使用你的银行账户! Also, these checks typically bounce – but you are then held responsible for all the bank charges and any money used, wired, or processed. |
|
在美国,大多数合法的工作都不要求拍照. On some very special applications a photo may need to be attached – but this only happens with profession-specific jobs and is actually very rare. |
|
Legitimate employers will openly and willingly provide a detailed job description of the job responsibilities and duties to see if you are a good fit for the position and will also state the work location. Any “employer” who hesitates… Be careful! |
|
合法的雇主会花时间筛选申请,以找到最好的候选人. 欺诈性工作只是在寻找个人信息, not your skills, which is why they respond immediately. They are hoping an immediate response makes you feel special – a trick used to get you to share personal information. |
|
Fraudulent job postings are despicable and designed to take you in without knowing you are being scammed, 所以骗子们会尽量把自己隐藏得很好. |
|
一家合法的企业希望客户能够接触到它, business partners, and applicants so the number will be active! |
|
合法的组织和公司使用他们的网站来吸引客户和顾客, not just potential employees. Check the URL – is it a real company website? 骗子经常创建快速、基本的网页,乍一看似乎是合法的. |
|
Sounds exciting, 但这些帖子通常会要求你提供银行信息, supposedly to help the employer make transactions. 他们想要的是进入你的银行账户和钱. |
|
如果公司的信息很难找到,那很可能是一个骗局. 如有任何问题或疑虑,请咨询职业服务中心. |
Researching Possible Scams
你可以通过不同的网站(下面列出了一些)来检查一个公司是否合法。.
- Better Business Bureau: http://www.bbb.org/
- Chamber of Commerce: http://www.uschamber.com/
- Hoover’s: http://www.hoovers.com/
- White Pages: http://www.whitepages.com/
如果你直接联系这家公司,你可以问这个人是否在那里工作. Don’t share personal information unless you are confident that the person and the company are legitimate.
If you search the internet using key phrases, 比如“欺诈性招聘启事”或“诈骗性招聘启事”,你会在网上看到很多可能有用的文章和报告.
You can also search the company name with the word “scam” to get a variety of internet hits associated with the company. 要知道,出现的一些链接可能只是讨论, but there may be actual articles or references.
Protect Your Personal and Private Information
For job applications, you should not provide your credit card number, bank account number, PayPal account, driver’s license number, or any PIN number over the phone or online.
许多工作申请会要求你提供社会安全号码和出生日期, 但这些信息不是通过电话或电子邮件征求的. This information is typically a part of a formal job application that candidates complete in writing, 通常是在他们第一次面试的那天.
永远要知道你在和谁分享你的个人信息——以及这些信息将如何被使用. 如果有人要求提供敏感的个人信息, get the person’s name, the company they work for and the phone number. If they hesitate, something’s up!

Interviewing Scams

- Always ensure it is in a public place and that someone knows of your plans to interview and the location.
- 如果你的直觉告诉你这件事很可疑,那它很可能就是可疑的.

- Ask to take the document with you to complete and return so you have time to research the issue further.
