Job Scam & Application Safety
Protect your information: Legitimate employers should not require gift cards, cryptocurrency payments or payment to receive ordinary wages. Be cautious with text-only interviews, unexpected checks, overpayment schemes, equipment-purchase reimbursement scams and requests for banking or identity information before the employer and position are verified.
- Confirm that the job appears on the employer's official site when possible.
- Check the sender's email domain carefully.
- Never send Social Security, banking or driver's-license information through an unverified contact channel.
- Do not deposit a check and forward part of the money to someone else.
- For public-sector postings, verify the position on the municipality, school district, county, state or agency career page.
