Your security is our priority. Learn how to recognize, avoid, and report fraudulent activity while using Global Jobs Connect™.
Common Warning Signs of Scams
- Requests for money (e.g., “processing fees”, “training fees”, or “verification charges”) before you start work.
- Unsolicited job offers with vague role descriptions or overly rosy promises.
- Emails or messages from free domains (like Gmail) pretending to be official companies without proper verification.
- Pressure to act immediately or to keep the conversation secret.
- Grammar/spelling errors, inconsistent branding, or suspicious links in communications.
- Requests for sensitive information (bank details, ID scans) without a legitimate hiring step.
How to Verify Employers & Job Listings
Before applying or sharing personal details, take these steps:
- Check the company profile on the platform; look for completed verification badges or employer history.
- Search independently for the employer’s website and cross-check contact information.
- Ask for clarification on the job details—real employers provide clear role descriptions, salary ranges, and process outlines.
- Verify email addresses; official corporate emails typically use the company domain.
- Request a video or voice interview—scammers rarely engage in real-time conversations.
How to Report a Scam
If you encounter suspicious activity, help us keep the community safe:
- Use the “Report” button on the listing or message thread to alert our moderation team.
- Provide screenshots, dates, message content, and any contact information used by the suspected scammer.
- If you’ve shared financial information or suffered loss, contact your bank or payment provider immediately.
- Warn others by leaving feedback if the platform allows (without sharing personal sensitive data).
Tips for Safe Job Seeking
- Never pay to apply or to receive a job. Genuine employers don’t ask for upfront fees.
- Keep your personal documents secure; only share what’s needed after official offer stages.
- Use platform messaging for initial conversations—avoid moving to external chat too early.
- Trust your instincts: if something feels off, pause and double-check.
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your account for added protection.
