They track job seekers' resumes from job portals and contact them, claiming they are looking for freshers or experienced professionals for their client’s company, and that you meet their job criteria and they are interested in hiring you. Once you are convinced by their persuasive speech and wish to accept the job offer, they immediately begin to scrutinize your personal information—such as your bank account number, credit card details, Social Security number, and other sensitive data—enough to entangle you in an employment scam and identity theft.

Without your knowledge, they will start using your personal information to commit felonies, leaving you stranded after you’ve paid for training materials, certifications, and fake appointment letters that never materialize.

Never ever respond to mails from unauthorized web portals that attract you with high packages in the name of reputed companies. Do research and confirm whether the offer is genuine before sharing your personal details with the employer. Ask yourself—is it necessary to attend doubtful interviews that demand high charges? Take the liberty to directly call companies that have scheduled interviews for you, rather than relying on third parties. Come out of the mindset that supports the policy "pay and get the job."

It is quite common for scammers to target individuals who desire to make quick money. So, seek a genuine job that matches your qualifications and skills rather than one that merely offers a high salary.
