15. Online Interviews You Never Applied For
Some job scams come in the form of unsolicited invitations for online interviews, claiming to have found your resume or profile on a job site. Be cautious of these offers and always verify the legitimacy of the company before agreeing to an interview. Avoid providing personal information or payment for any job opportunity that you did not apply for or initiate yourself. Exercise caution and trust your instincts when evaluating any unsolicited job offers received online.

Fake job postings are often used as bait in phishing scams to obtain sensitive personal information from unsuspecting applicants. Be wary of any requests to verify information or provide personal details before completing a legitimate hiring process. If something seems off or too good to be true, trust your instincts and avoid providing any personal information. Protect yourself from phishing scams by thoroughly researching any job opportunities and verifying the legitimacy of the company before proceeding.
