In today's digital age, job seekers must be vigilant about the increasing number of fake job ads. Scammers are getting more sophisticated, but you can protect yourself by knowing the signs and taking the right steps if you accidentally share personal information. Be cautious of unsolicited offers, extremely high salaries for minimal work, vague job descriptions, immediate job offers without proper vetting, and unprofessional communication. If you share personal information, stay calm and assess what you shared, place a fraud alert with a major credit bureau, change your passwords, monitor your accounts for unusual activity, and report the scam to your bank, credit card company, and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Stay safe and vigilant in your job search! Have you ever encountered a suspicious job ad?

If you get contacted by a Kandi Lidden, I believe she is a scammer. Please research everything before sending any info. These scammers are working OT! #avoidscams

If you ever see a job opportunity, and someone is asking you for money, it's time to RUN!

Legitimate companies would never ask you to pay 💸 for the chance to join their company. It's probably a scam. (like 💯%)

Remember the golden rule. Go to them. Don't let them come to you. #AvoidScams #GoGetIt #JobSearch
