What is work fraud?

Job fraud refers to the act of obtaining personal information, financial information, or illegally obtaining money through false or fraudulent means. This type of fraud is common in false recruitment information, false interviews, and payment requests. When applying for a job, you should protect your personal information and ensure that you contact legitimate companies or recruitment agencies.

Job fraud typically includes the following common types:

False recruitment advertisement: Scammers release false recruitment information to attract job seekers to apply for positions. These advertisements may appear very realistic, including fictitious company names and job descriptions.

Disguising as a legitimate company: Scammers may impersonate well-known companies or legitimate recruitment agencies, contact them through fake websites or emails, and induce job seekers to provide personal information or pay fees.

Request advance payment: Scammers may require job seekers to pay so-called "training fees," "security deposits," or "equipment fees.". These fees are usually fictitious and job seekers will not receive any actual services or positions after payment.

False interview: arranging false interviews to deceive job seekers into obtaining personal or financial information. The interview process may require proof of identity, bank account information, etc

Using false identities or forging documents: Fraudsters may use false identities or forge work documents, recommendation letters, etc. to increase their credibility.
