1. Check the company's official website
2. Check the e-mail address that was used to send the offer letter to you
- normally, it should have a domain name that is close to the company name like
3. Contact the company directly and ask for the authenticity of the offer letter
4. Call the labor authority to check if the company is a registered company in the country or not.
5. Beware of wrong grammars, incorrect spacing, and wrong spelling on the offer letter. The offer letter should be formal and will give you the look that it is "official"
6. Ask them to hand over the job offer personally, rather than in e-mail.
- If employer is located overseas, they should be willing to handle your travel expenses and visa expenses, not a single penny should be given to them
Scamming companies have one goal, to exploit money from applicants. If they REQUIRE you to give them or send them some money for whatever purpose that they say, DONT. Chances are it is fake and you will regret it after. NEVER send any personal information like bank accounts, ID Numbers. Only send them your CV and other supporting documents like your certificates and diplomas, but never your sensitive personal information. If they require you to do so, be cautious and don't send it to them. Identity theft is rampant nowadays.
make search for tthis co. and try to get mails or phone no. and contact with their after that u can know is that real or fake
and2 step don't pay any money to get this offer
The Company Name & Phone Number / Email, domain will be matching with Address or not matching,
and the KEY Role / Job Title and the package offer or Remuneration not matching,
and mostly if they give you offer latter with company introduction attached means Fake100%
Initially I believe that you have researched the company you are joining,after that you probably had two to three interviews,and finally you received a job offer.it all depends on your research about the company ,was it a real company operating in the country you received an offer from?
i have seen and received fake interviews but not fake offers as you will know when starting your research if the company is fake or not.
on the other hand if you know the company you have interviewed is a legal entity then contact the HR manager using the company's main no. And ask for the person concerned ,also I believe there is no risk up to this point unless they are asking for money to issue the entry visa which of course is a scam.
Many companies are scamming people through asking for money for the entry visa.no legitimate company will ask for anything,they have to bear the cost of entry visa's. And other issues.
Beware of many illegitimate oil companies who are practicing such act and asking for money for the entry visa,I had to deal with some from Oman,Qatar,Abu dhabi,Indonesia,Malaysia and UK.
Send a generic inquiry first. Do not send your resume right away.
Search for the company
Check the website address they give you.
Never pay money for anything. Never give your credit card or bank account info. Never open a bank account for a foreign company!
Ask around if the company exist.
Online recruitment is very risky, you should not resign without proper searching about job. First indicator of fake recruitment, recruiter will ask you to pay money for processing as postal fees, Visa and other cost. My suggestions are:
1. Search organization profile as business types, product & services, business reputation.
2. Contact with embassy for making quarry about organization validity.
3. Do not pay any amount to recruiter.
4. Confirm your appointment whether it is true or fake.
5. Verify telephone number.
6. Verify salary and benefits.
make search and check the company website .
1) Never Pay any money online
2) Give a general call to the company and ask if the person actually exists
3) Make sure if you had contacted them earlier for any job inquiries/requirements
Check the company's websait
Ask yourself these questions:
1- Is your email address/ account safe. I mean never encountered any hacking?
2- The email address through which the offer is sent to you, is it a free services email address like those of google for instance?
3- The offer you receive, is it correctly written, I mean grammatically?
If the answers for the above questions are yes, and if you already have sent an application via email to the employer, from whom you received the offer, then the offer is probably real. Otherwise you need to be cautious, never open an email message; just send it to the jinke of spam folder!
