Job seeker warns of recruitment scams demanding upfront payment
Original: I thought a recruiter had found me the perfect job — then he asked me to pay. These are the warning signs I missed.
A job seeker has described how a fake recruiter convinced her she had landed her ideal role, then asked her to pay fees — revealing the warning signs she overlooked. Legitimate recruiters never charge candidates, so any request for payment, rushed offers or vague company details are red flags of employment scams.
Why now: Job scams are rising as more recruitment happens online, and readers want to know how to spot the warning signs.
