13Beware of scams

As with everything (housing, buying/selling a car, van or whatever), there are scams when you’re looking for a job.

Here are the main scams:

  • Job adverts that offer a dream job, a huge salary and working hours that suit your needs.
  • Pyramidal schemes.
  • Companies that ask you to pay for an interview or to join a recruitment database.
  • Mystery shopper” jobs with money transfer companies.

You can read this article that appeared in the New Zealand press in February 2014 about another scam method (including identity theft).

Be vigilant and if in doubt, don’t hesitate to share your case on the forum, where other site members will be able to advise you.
