Employment
Scams
Beware of Your Personal Information The application process for a new job should entail filling out a written or virtual application either in person or online. This application will often include your name, address, contact information and past education and work history. In some cases, the fraudulent job applications will ask for more specific personal information like social security numbers or banking information as a “background” check. These job applications should be avoided as personal information should never be handed out before the official in person interview has been held. The only time personal information should be given to a prospective employer is after the job offer has been completed and the human resources department is collecting the final information for payroll purposes. Keeping your personal identity safe is essential to avoiding employment scams. As soon as you hand over that personal data, the collector can steal your identity and financially destroy your identity. To discuss more, please visit our Anti-scam forum
