Stay safe from job scams

Never pay to get a job

Real employers never ask you to pay a registration fee, security deposit, training fee or "refundable" amount to get a job or an interview. Never share an OTP, your UPI PIN, card details or net-banking login with anyone.

Warning signs

• A fee or deposit before joining, or "pay ₹500 to confirm your slot".
• Pressure to move to WhatsApp or Telegram, or to a personal Gmail address.
• "Work from home, no interview, 100% job guarantee" and very high pay for simple work.
• A small or new company claiming to hire for a famous brand.

Our "Be careful" notices

• We check every job for these signs. A job with some risk shows a Be careful notice on its page. Read it before applying.
• In your inbox, we show a warning above an employer message that asks for money, an OTP or bank details, with a one-click Report.

Report a job or a conversation

• On a job page, choose Report job and pick a reason such as Scam. Our team reviews every report.
• In Messages, open the ⋮ menu of a conversation and choose Report conversation.

If you already paid someone, contact your bank and the cyber crime helpline (1930 or cybercrime.gov.in) at once, and tell us through Contact support.
