Online job scams are another way for scammers to gain access to either your personal information, your money or your bank account or credit card data. These scams prey upon people searching online sites for new jobs.

Because job seekers are often desperate to find a position, they might overlook certain red flags that something is not right with an online listing.

Online job scams come in several types. The Federal Trade Commission says that some scammers will try to phish bank account or credit card numbers out of you.

Others will encourage you to pay for certification or training materials, often for jobs that don’t really exist. Still others will try to trick you into cashing fraudulent checks.

Scammers post their fake job listings on some of the internet’s most popular boards, the same platforms that many legitimate employers use. This can make it more difficult for job hunters to avoid these scams.

Fortunately, there are several warning signs you can look for to help protect yourself. If you come across these red flags in an online job listing, be careful: You might be dealing with a scammer.
