BEWARE of Job Scams!

Jobstreet has emailed all members on how to know whether the job ads is genuine or another scam. For non jobstreet members, I share with you guys some tips given by jobstreet.

Job offers are sometimes NOT what they seem! Tough times and a difficult job market have resulted in numerous shameless job scams by dodgy companies out there.

However thanks to the diligence of some of our members, below are some examples of what these illegitimate advertisements look like and how they operate:

These job scams are very real and we would like to advise you to be EXTRA careful with your job applications. Should you find advertisements that resemble those stated below, BEWARE!

1. Advertisements that require payment for applications.
2. Advertisements that promote pyramid selling or similar schemes.
3. Advertisements that are untrue or misleading (e.g. misleading job title, job description or company description).
4. Advertisements with dubious ethical credentials (e.g. social escorts, etc.)

If you are suspicious of the nature of the job advertisements you see on JobStreet.com, email the advertisement to policy@jobstreet.com. Provide them the Company Name and Position Title.
