Hyderabad: Fake job offers promising high salaries and immediate joining have prompted a warning from Cyberabad Police. The police advised job seekers to remain alert while considering work-from-home and online employment opportunities.
Cyberabad Police said genuine employers pay salaries to employees rather than demanding payments from them. Therefore, job seekers should be cautious when recruiters ask for money before offering employment.
Scammers may present attractive work-from-home opportunities with promises of high salaries. They may also claim that candidates can join immediately, making the offers appear genuine and urgent.
Job seekers should carefully examine such offers before sharing money or proceeding with recruitment. In particular, requests for upfront payments should raise concerns about possible fraud.
Cyberabad Police issued the warning through its official social media account. The advisory focused on fraudulent recruitment offers targeting people seeking online and work-from-home jobs.
Fake job offers may demand multiple fees
According to the police advisory, scammers may demand registration fees from people responding to fraudulent job advertisements. They may also describe the payment as a processing charge linked to recruitment.
In other cases, fraudsters may ask candidates to pay security deposits before confirming employment. Training fees may also be demanded as part of the fake recruitment process.
Cyberabad Police urged people to remember a simple warning: a genuine job should pay the employee, not ask the applicant to pay. Job seekers should remain particularly cautious when an offer combines high salaries with immediate joining and payment demands.
The advisory highlighted the need for vigilance against fake work-from-home and online job offers. People seeking employment should avoid making payments merely to secure or process a job opportunity.
