New job scam alert! ‼️ The scammers are getting super smart. It goes like this: 1. A “recruiter” reaches out on behalf of a *real company* (that they are actually in no way affiliated with) 2. They tell you about a great job: part time or work from home, flexible hours, great pay, onboarding and training, etc. 3. They ask you for a video chat interview (green flag, right!?) and send you some paperwork to fill out (all seems legit!) 4. BUT, before they schedule the in-person interview they ask if they can do a background and credit check. They’ll say it has something to do with using the company card (or something like that). 5. They’ll provide you with a link to a credit check service. DO NOT CLICK THE LINK. Best practices to avoid job scams? 🚩 if it seems to good to be true, it probably is 🚩 if they communicate via WhatsApp or Telegram, it’s probably a scam 🚩 if they hire you without a face-to-face interview, probably a scam 🚩 if there is ANY mention of a check, it’s a scam.
