13 Recognize & Avoid Job Scams NEVER: Never give out personal information like your social security or bank account number over or phone. Never take cashier s checks or money orders as a form of payment. Fake checks are common and the bank where you cash it will hold you accountable. Never cash a check that comes with extra money. Scammers send checks that require you to deposit a check at your bank, withdraw the extra money as cash, and then deposit that cash elsewhere. The check will bounce and you will be held accountable. Never wire funds via Western Union, MoneyGram or any other service. Anyone who asks you to wire money is a scammer. Never apply for jobs listed by someone far away or in another country. Never agree to a background check unless you have met the employer in person. Never apply for a job that is ed to you out of the blue. ALWAYS: Be skeptical. If a job is offering a lot of money for very little work, it could be a scammer trying to get personal information from you. Research the employer. Do they have a reputable website or professional references? Is the job listing you want to apply for also on their main career page? Note: work-study jobs may not be advertised on employer websites. Trust your instincts. If a job sounds too good to be true, it is likely a scam.
