What is Jobcase exactly?
I've only been a member for about a week yet, I noticed there are numerous fake accounts posting jobs. And i also see comments from a few other members talking about how they have tried to report these fraud accounts posting jobs to no avail. I wasnt going to pay it any mind. Until, I logged in today and noticed that the ONLY comment I had posted publicly was removed by an Admin. It was not a very lengthy one, probably 2-3 sentences saying how I was not here to to get scammed. Nor was I here to scam anyone. And that I was just here to find a job. It was not offensive in any way. So im struggling to understand why a site administrator felt they had to take down my post. Unless they themselves are actively behind the scams posted on this site or are backing the people that do it. That is which brought up the question....

How to spot a job scam
Some key warning signs that a posting is a scam include:
Being asked for your personal financial information. This can include your social security number, or your bank account numbers. Be mindful if you are asked to disclose your home address, date of birth, or driver’s license number very early on in the application or interview process.
The pay rate seems too good to be true. If a posting advertises a large pay rate for very little work, it is unlikely it is true.
The job posting contains obvious grammatical or spelling errors.
The job posting claims that it can change your life overnight and provide large profits in a matter of days.
The contact information of the job poster appears to be personal or eerily close to a large corporation.
You are not asked to verify or validate your prior work experience or job history. The hiring manager or recruiter does not ask for any references.
Is this a scam?
Account Deletion
All the jobs I’ve obtained a response from was a scam. How do you close the account? #scams
When is an interview asking too much of a designer before hiring? Seems like free work?
I had an interview today with a person of a small business who never asked me how much I want to get paid or even what type of position I was looking for in terms of freelance or part-time. They also didn’t bother to ask me where I was located nor did they state their location on the job listing. This interviewer asked for examples of my design work which I provided via email to which she responded by saying this is not my taste. Of course it’s not your taste when the designs were not catered to your company and they were designed for somebody else which I explain to her. It was kind of odd to have to explain this to a person who claims to be in the industry for 10 years . She then requested that I provide designs that are more catered towards her company she also requested that I send her trends that again are geared towards her company, to me this was asking for a job that I would normally get paid for. I’m starting to think this person is using the interview process as a tactic to get free designs from interviews . When do you think interviewers looking for freelance designers are asking for too much? And where do you draw the line? #interview #jobsearch #scams #freelance #designer

I had contacted a company to help promote my book
I'll leave the company's name out of this post because they are scammers. Anyway, I wanted them to assist in publishing my book and getting reviews. If it sounds too good to be true...... I gave them the funds and forwarded a copy of the contract to my attorney who contacted me the next day to tell me to cancel. I did. When I canceled, one of the reps called to inquire what did I need to further understand to retain my funds. I followed through with my position and my funds were restored. I felt stupid as sh_t for a long time until my cousin told me to share my issue with Chance Baylor's Space, a psychologist who does not judge you when you feel stupid. He is on Quora. He is good. #advice #scams
Be aware of BOGUS JOB OFFERS!! They usually use a bogus email address...businesses do not use Gmail/Yahoo/Msn emails for their business email addresses, if so then that's personal. Also, go to the website to confirm that the job is available and to make sure the person who contacted you actually work there. If it sounds too good to be true than it’s just that! Don’t get pulled in with a Bonus sign-on either. I received a sign-on bonus check ($3500) to deposit in my account and the bank accepted it to found out after supposedly clearing and I was able to withdraw money that the check was bogus, and my account ended up insufficient funds and I owe the bank. Please pay attention in detail, Read, Read, and Read.
Beware
Greetings All,
For those who are seeking remote work, please be aware of scammers posting Data Entry/Customer Service jobs with high pay. Scammers are posting on job sights, asking for your payment information, or soliciting a plain background check form. They are very responsive to emails and pushy to get your information, so if it sounds too good to believe, trust your instincts. Check for official company websites, call to inquire, or check to see if the company is hiring for this position. Utilize Linkedin.com to contact someone within the company to inquire. Never give up any personal or financial information; it's bad enough that they can use these sites to get your email and information off of your resumes. Wikipedia will also give you some information about a company. If they use WhatsApp, be leery. #Stay safe #scams #workfromhome #jobsearch #wordof advice #interview #hiringnews
