7 signs a job post is a scam (and what to do about it)

Every job post gets an automatic keyword check and an AI review. Posts that match scam patterns get a red warning and wait for our team to look. You should still know the signs yourself, because scammers also message people directly.

The warning signs

• They ask you to pay a training, registration or equipment fee
• The pay is commission only, or "unlimited earnings"
• They want to move the chat to Telegram or WhatsApp right away
• They send a check and ask you to send part of it back
• They ask for bank logins, OTP codes or your full ID before any interview
• The job is vague but the pay is very high
• They pressure you to decide today

What to do

Stop replying. Don't send money or documents. Then use Report on the job post (you need to be signed in), or write to us from the contact page. Read the full list of scams on the Safety page.

A real employer pays you. You never pay them.
