\"woman<\/a>Imagine you\u2019re online, looking for something meaningful, worthy of a real commitment, and there it is! You find the perfect match that you\u2019ve been waiting for. Of course, you want to respond right away thinking this is just too good to pass up. Then you take a beat \u2026 before you send out a reply, you stop and think, could this be just another online job scam? Are you interacting with a virtual liar and con artist \u2026 some sort of criminal looking to drain your wallet?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No, I\u2019m not talking about the potential hazards of online dating. I\u2019m referring to the very real risks of an online job scam. You may have heard the term \u2018catfish\u2019 which describes an online love interest who is claiming to be someone who they are not? In many respects, this analogy applies to online job scams that look plausible on the surface. The fact is that these fraudulent opportunities exist, and unsuspecting job seekers should beware. Online romantic and job scams are on the rise since the perpetrators have so much to gain. Moreover, not all of us can recognize a scammer from behind our computer screens.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Guy<\/a>As I side note, in past AudioBlog articles, I have compared the pursuit of finding a meaningful job<\/a> to finding a suitable soul mate \u2013 both involve a good match. I can\u2019t help but make these associations since finding great love and a fulfilling career are both life-changing events that are sometimes difficult to acquire. The comparison also extends to ghosting \u2013 where things look good at first until like a ghost our love or work interest disappears. If you\u2019re interested, here\u2019s a previous two-part blog on ghosting in the professional realm<\/a>. These days, since it\u2019s no longer common to find love or work in a newspaper column, we must learn how to navigate the web with better awareness of scams.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"young<\/a>When a job seeker is new to the modern online job search, it can be hard for them to tell the difference between legitimate opportunities and a job scam that mimics a good employment opportunity. This is especially true for people who\u2019ve been out of the workforce for a while<\/a> to raise young children, care for an elderly or sick loved one, or if they are somewhat new to Canada<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Too good to be true \u2013 11 signs you may be getting conned by a job scam rather than getting a career<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. They contacted you, but you didn\u2019t apply for anything \u2026 and you can\u2019t find anything substantial or credible about the company online. You can\u2019t even find contact information for the business when you do a search.<\/li>\n
  2. You\u2019ll be required to buy a lot of inventory in order to start making money.<\/li>\n
  3. You\u2019re forced to buy other things that you don\u2019t want or need to stay on good terms with your boss\/the company.<\/li>\n
  4. The employer wants money and\/or personal information even before an interview.<\/li>\n
  5. Your future income will be based on what you will have to buy yourself or the number of people you recruit into the business, not on your sales to the public.<\/li>\n
  6. The job description and requirements are so vague that \u2018everyone\u2019 qualifies.<\/li>\n
  7. Instead of a preliminary phone interview, there\u2019s an interview via instant message. You may even be asked to provide confidential banking information so that your \u2018future employer\u2019 can pay you via direct deposit \u2026 yet you still don\u2019t know who you\u2019ll be working for or where they\u2019re based.<\/li>\n
  8. It\u2019s a work from home position where your main task is processing payments or transferring funds \u2026 using your own bank account in return for a commission or percentage of the amount of money that goes through your account.<\/li>\n
  9. You\u2019re told that you have to pay for job-related training upfront. Most legitimate employers will pay you to participate in training and\/or onboarding.<\/li>\n
  10. Work from home, data entry positions don\u2019t normally pay extremely well unless they are specialized (e.g., medical or legal transcriptions). If you see a job posting that promises a very high salary, a very flexible schedule, or both, be suspicious.<\/li>\n
  11. This sign was added after this blog article was first posted. If you’re asked to meet for your interview off-site it could be a red flag. In January 2020 the CBC reported a fake job<\/a> where candidates in London, ON were invited to interviews off-site – by a third-party. The employer was not hiring, someone was using the fake job to lure candidates to fake interviews.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    So many people search for full-time or part-time jobs that offer the benefits of working from home<\/a>. These jobs make it easier to balance work with parenting or other personal obligations and minimize the time lost during commutes. When the search is online, it can be tougher to identify fake jobs. In real life, it\u2019s easier to spot a fake or questionable job when the premises look dodgy or temporary.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    I do hope that this list of red flags helps you avoid false promises of employment.<\/p>\n
