👔 Job hunting or looking to make some extra cash? If a job opportunity seems too good to be true, it’s probably a job scam.
Watch out for scams when applying for jobs and be wary of any job that requires you to pay money or cryptocurrency before you commence.
Before you apply, STOP and CHECK it’s a legit job offer by contacting the business using a number you find yourself. PROTECT others by reporting job scams to the Scamwatch website.
