Avoiding online Job board / job site SCAM: A career advice for job seekers

]]>
The Internet has proved to be the most effective and convenient means job seekers use to stay connected with employers. Statistics shows that 88% of job seekers start their job search online. This percentage relies heavily on job boards as an effective place of finding job openings. Some visit job boards and online recruitment sites on a daily basis.
Unfortunately, some of these job boards have become a safe heaven for scammers and people with different nefarious activities which includes:
* Identity fraud
* Scam and illegal financial solicitation from job seekers
* Spamming
* Online theft to mention just a few.
In recent times there have been increasing cases of job site scam with job seekers being the victim. It has indeed become one of the greatest threats steering job site users on the face. While job seekers and employers who use these sites now live in constant fear of not falling a victim, the job site owners on the other hand are having sleepless night thinking of ways to secure their site from hackers and Cyber thiefs.
Ironically, this trend has worsened since past two years. The perpetrators sometimes prove invincible. To the Internet security experts it is a case of ” the more you look the less you see” said Bradley Tamselis of Sunlian Internet Security systems Inc.”
Cases also abounds where job databases were broken into by Internet criminals in an attempt to hack into the users information database. When they do succeed in getting access to this private information, the Internet fraud stars pose to be genuine employer. They often use different tactics to lure job seekers. The common tactics they use includes:
· Bogus, attractive and irresistible job offers to unsuspecting job seekers:
· International job offers Most of this social menace is common and prevalent on free job sites, social networking sites and free classified sites such as craigslist, facebook, etc. The Internet corn lords trick their victims with bogus and attractive job offers.
These are fake offers with criminal intention and intent to defraud unsuspecting desperate job seekers. They usually request job application processing fees from job seekers. These fees sometimes range from 0 to 00 or even more.
We all owe it as a duty to protect helpless and vulnerable job seekers.
Job site owners, employers and jobseekers all have a role to play in the fight against cyber crime and jobsite fraud. Job seekers are the most vulnerable. They need to be protected. While they also owe it as a duty to protect themselves. Job Seekers can take the following steps to protect themselves.
* They should always keep their login information safe and confidential
* They must not make any payment in any form or by any means to any employer requesting money as a precondition to hire them.
* Apply to overseas job with caution
* Report suspected employer to the appropriate authorities.
The Job site owner can protect job seekers by making their job site secure and safe. They can put bold inscriptions warning job seekers to avoid falling pray to scammers who want them to pay money through any means such as moneygram, western Union money transfer, wired transfer, checks or other forms of money transfer.
All hand must be on deck to fight this social ill, which is gradually affecting job site users globally.
