This article outlines how to identify a recruitment scam, what to do if you are targeted, and how to protect yourself while job hunting.

🔍 Understanding Recruitment Scams

A recruitment scam is a fraudulent attempt to obtain personal or financial information by advertising fake job opportunities.

Scammers often impersonate legitimate companies or recruitment agencies, using real names, logos, and job titles to appear credible.

We are currently investigating reports of scammers misusing Jobs for Planet name. We urge all job seekers to remain cautious and verify any communication claiming to be from us.

⚠️ How to Identify a Fake Job Offer

Be alert to these common warning signs:

1. Unsolicited contact via WhatsApp, Instagram, or other messaging apps. Scammers may claim to have found your CV or contact details online.

   
   

2. Requests for payment You may be asked to pay a “registration fee,” "employment tax" “admin charge,”   "services related to visa processing" or “security deposit.”

   
   

3.  ✅ Jobs for Planet will never request payment at any stage of the recruitment process.

   
   

4. Unprofessional communication Genuine recruiters take care with spelling, grammar, and formatting. Be wary of inconsistent information or poorly written messages, and might not be fluent in English.

   
   

5. Unrealistic job offers: Offers that include unusually high salaries, instant employment, or no interview process should raise concerns.

   
   

6. Suspicious email addresses: Authentic emails always end with @jobsforplanet.com Any message from a Gmail, Outlook, or other free domain is not legitimate.

   
   

7. Pressure to respond quickly: Scammers often create urgency to prevent you from verifying their identity. A genuine recruiter will always give you time to review and respond thoughtfully.
