Below is a list of the most common job scams encountered by job seekers in Singapore, along with ways to avoid them and prevent yourself from being victimized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"popular-job-scams-in-singapore-what-to-do\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Popular Job Scams In Singapore & What To Do<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"unsolicited-job-offers\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unsolicited job offers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>How often do you get a call from a company after applying for a job? The numbers aren\u2019t great, and it\u2019s even rarer to receive not just a call but an offer from a company you\u2019ve never heard of nor applied for a job before.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most popular job scams Singapore is plagued with these days comes in the form of \u201crecruiters\u201d calling to proposition jobs. If someone contacts you, claims to have gotten your contact in a reputable job portal and not only asks for personal information but offers you a job without a clue about your credentials whatsoever, nine times out of ten, it\u2019s a scam. Don\u2019t engage further and cut off ties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"listed-on-reputable-job-portals\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Listed on reputable job portals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easy to make up a company and pay for job listings on reputable job portals. It\u2019s even easier to pretend to be a reputable company and recruit people through job scams.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fake job listings are one of the most common job scams out there, claiming to provide excellent working conditions and benefits. As a rule of thumb, always research a company before applying to job posts, especially when the job seems too good to be true because likely, it is and someone is trying to scam you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does \u201ctoo good to be true\u201d mean? \u2013 Unusually high pay, schedule that\u2019s too flexible, vague job description and requirements, promises of quick returns or high earnings, unprofessional recruiter, the company\u2019s contact cannot be reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"giving-initial-payout\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Giving initial payout<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s difficult enough getting hired for a job that pays you enough, much less one that pays you before you even get to work. One of the hooks used by scammers to get applicants to fall for job scams is to gain their trust by giving some money in the beginning. They usually do this by asking you to provide personal information and bank details in \u201csecure\u201d websites, which are used to cheat people out of their money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How to identify jobs scams like this is easily done by verifying the company you\u2019re applying with \u2013 does the company actually exist? If it does, is the job you\u2019re applying for actually listed on their website? If it doesn\u2019t, someone could be masquerading as that company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to check is to do a quick google search of the job position; if several results show exact job postings in multiple cities, it\u2019s likely a scam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, never give our personal information, much less bank details to any recruiter or company you\u2019re applying to. That is not standard recruitment procedure, and should be avoided at all costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"amazing-benefits-pay\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Amazing benefits & pay<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As sad as it sounds, finding a dream job that has it all in this economy just doesn\u2019t exist. When a job offers benefits and pay that are way beyond the industry standard, there\u2019s usually a catch, and that likely means someone is trying to scam you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These types of job scams typically come in the form of jobs that are unusually easy and incredibly disproportionate to the pay it promises. They\u2019re usually marketed as writing reviews online, working for very little, and a very good side hustle; essentially, it\u2019s huge money for little to no effort. That is a scam and it\u2019s circulating widely these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"community-that-shares-their-earnings\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Community that shares their earnings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some job scams are one-offs, but some are more insidious, working in communities that aim to build trust, only to take advantage later on. A good example is recruiters luring in job applicants into private chats, forums, or social media groups to show that many people are earning so and so amount of money from that job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As social creatures, we\u2019re likely to trust a job if others seem to be doing well in it. However, don\u2019t be fooled. There\u2019s a high chance that the people showing off their \u201cearnings\u201d are in it with the person who pulled you in, and they\u2019re all putting on a show to get you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"no-experience-needed\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">No experience needed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to the amazing benefits and pay, another bait commonly used by scammers is offering high-paying jobs without any need for experience. While there are certainly starter positions hiring people with no experience, they\u2019re unlikely to offer pay that\u2019s seen in mid-high or even C-level positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s so easy to get tempted, especially when you\u2019re a fresh graduate trying to land your first job. That\u2019s how they get you \u2013 by preying on inexperience. If you encounter something like this, as always, do your research. Does the job really offer that much? Is the going rate for the role in that industry reasonable? Is the job actually listed in the company\u2019s careers page? If you answered no to any of these, beware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s difficult finding a job. But with job scams preying on applicants left and right, it makes the job search much more tedious and demotivating. That\u2019s why it\u2019s never been more important to use reputable job boards like Bossjob, which not only lets you search and apply for jobs, but even lets you talk to a \u201cboss\u201d or employer directly. The employer\u2019s professionalism, how they answer questions, and their description of the job can give you signs on the legitimacy of the job, so you know if you\u2019re applying for an actual job or getting scammed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interested to see the different types of job scams we\u2019ve personally encountered on the Bossjob?
