âąNever pay any amount of money â for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
âąNever send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
âąAlways meet in a public place, during the day â never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
âąTell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time â and share your live location if possible.
âąSearch the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
âąA salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag â be extra cautious.
