Fraudulent websites: How to protect yourself
Fraudsters may create fake versions of legitimate recruitment websites to steal personal data and money. Keep these key points in mind:
- Check for SSL certification – Look for the padlock symbol next to the website address. Click on it to verify the site's security certificate. If a site lacks SSL certification, it may be fraudulent.
- Verify website information – A legitimate website should include an "About Us" section and valid contact details. If this information is missing, it could be a red flag.
- Inspect the URL – Fraudulent sites may use slightly altered URLs with spelling errors or unusual domain extensions. If unsure, search for the official company website through Google rather than clicking a link directly.
