Online Job Scam on WhatsApp & Telegram: How to Stay Safe?

Online Job Scam on WhatsApp & Telegram
Published on
Fake Recruiter Profiles

Fake Recruiter Profiles: Scammers pose as HR reps using stolen logos and fake IDs, luring users with job offers on WhatsApp or Telegram—often without any job application.

Easy Tasks, Quick Pay

Easy Tasks, Quick Pay: You’re asked to like videos or add items to a cart for money. Initial tasks may even pay a little to earn your trust before the real trap begins.

The VIP Trap

The VIP Trap: You’re offered high-paying “VIP” tasks—but only if you invest first. Once you send money, scammers disappear or block you from withdrawing fake earnings.

No Real Job, No Real Company

No Real Job, No Real Company: Fake dashboards, no contracts, and zero official communication—just polished chats that look real but are built to steal your money or data.

Red Flags to Watch

Red Flags to Watch: Cold messages with job offers, pressure to invest, too-good-to-be-true pay, fake earning screenshots, and communication only via chat apps.

Stay Safe, Stay Smart

Stay Safe, Stay Smart: Never pay for a job. Use verified platforms like LinkedIn or company career pages. Don’t share bank info, OTPs, or install unknown apps.

Report and Protect

Report and Protect: Block suspicious contacts and report to cybercrime.gov.in. If you’ve shared details, alert your bank and secure your accounts immediately.
