How to spot a job scam

You never have to pay to get a job. If someone asks you to pay, stop and report it.

Warning signs

  • They ask you to pay first: for training, equipment, a starter kit, a visa or a "processing fee". Real employers never do this.
  • The pay is much higher than similar jobs, for very little work.
  • You get a job offer without an interview or any real questions.
  • They want to move the chat to a personal app right away and push you to decide fast.
  • The email comes from a free address that doesn't match the company, or the company has no website.
  • They send you a check or money and ask you to send part of it back.

Never share

  • Passwords or one-time codes (OTP).
  • Your bank, GCash or card login.
  • Photos of your ID in chat. On WorkNow, ID checks happen only in the verification step.

How to report a scam
