Job scams are a type of cyber crime where scammers impersonate legitimate organizations such as recruitment agencies and offer fake job opportunities to trick people into giving away their personal information such as bank account details and passwords. In Singapore, the police have observed an increasing trend of job scams where scammers would entice victims by offering them fake job opportunities that involve purchasing tasks on online platforms.
To avoid job scams, it’s important to be cautious when dealing with people who offer job opportunities that seem too good to be true. You should always do thorough research on the company and the job before investing any money or providing any personal information. You should also be wary of job offers that require you to pay money upfront or provide sensitive information such as your social security number or bank account details.
