How to spot a fake overseas job offer (and what to do about it)

Requests for upfront payment, no interview and visit visas are the biggest red flags. A short guide to protecting yourself and your family’s savings.

Every year, thousands of job seekers lose savings to fake offers. These warning signs appear again and again.

  • No interview, or an interview only on a chat app
  • A visit or tourist visa instead of an employment visa
  • Requests to send money to a personal account or in cash
  • An offer letter with a free e-mail address and no company registration

What a genuine process looks like

You apply, you are screened, an employer interviews you, you receive a written offer and contract, and only then does the visa process begin. You can verify the licence of any Indian recruiting agency with the Protector General of Emigrants.
