Stay safe: how to spot a job scam

  • Never pay for a job offer. Genuine employers do not charge you for a job, an interview or a “guaranteed visa”.
  • Check the employer. Use official registers where they exist, such as the UK’s register of licensed sponsors, and the employer’s own website.
  • Check the web address. Government sites use official domains such as .gov, .gov.uk, .gc.ca, .gov.au or .govt.nz. Look-alike addresses are a warning sign.
  • Be wary of pressure. “Pay today or lose the place”, WhatsApp-only contact or a free Gmail address for a “big company” are red flags.
  • Never hand over your passport or send copies to anyone you have not verified.
  • Get the offer in writing and compare it with the official visa guidance for that country.
