Job Fraud Tips
- Research The Company
- Tip: Check with the Secretary of State where the business is established to verify if the company is legitimate and registered. In addition to this, check the company’s website and look for reviews and verify their contact information.
2. Be Weary of Unsolicited Job Offers
- Tip: If you receive a job offer without applying, it could possibly be a scam. Verify the legitimacy before proceeding
3. Never Pay for a Job
- Tip: Legitimate employers do not ask for payments for job placement or training. Be suspicious of any request for money.
4. Trust Your Instincts
- Tip: If something feels off about a job opportunity, trust your gut. It’s better to be cautious than to risk your personal information.
Loan Fraud Tips
- Review Loan Offers Carefully
- Tip: Read the fine print and understand the terms. Watch for high fees or interest rates that seem too good to be true.
2. Verify Lenders
- Tip: Research the lender before applying for a loan. Check for reviews and ensure they are registered with the relevant authorities.
3. Avoid Upfront Fees
- Tip: Be wary of lenders that require upfront fees for processing. Legitimate lenders will not ask for payment before approval.
4. Beware of Pressure Tactics
- Tip: If a lender pressures you to act quickly, it’s likely a scam. Take your time to consider your options.
