☆ How to avoid scams while job-hunting online, according to career experts
  + stars: | 2024-06-30 | by ( Alex Koller | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
It's a big enough issue that federal agencies like the FBI and Federal Trade Commission have issued warnings about job scams. Then, they may ask you to send them money or personal information, according to Amanda Augustine, a career expert at TopResume. Some companies make executive-level job openings confidential to high-profile applicants at first, but they will begin disclosing more details about the role as the interview process gets underway. For job openings that have no reason being kept so tightly under wraps, a formal job description should be handed over upon request, Augustine explains. "If there's absolutely no digital trail about this company, or it's really, really sparse when you're running some Google searches, I would be concerned."

☆ LinkedIn says it intercepts the 'majority' of scams on its site — but job hunters say it's not enough

Yet they're still getting through often enough that the Federal Trade Commission has recently warned the public about the prevalence of fake job scams. AdvertisementThe 'fake check' scamChris Conwell had initially applied to a job ad on LinkedIn in early March. Fake check scams generally involve a supposed employer mailing a fraudulent check to the would-be employee they're attempting to scam. But, Conwell told Business Insider, something felt wrong. A representative for the company also pointed to internal statistics that indicate LinkedIn intercepts the majority of detected fake accounts and scams before fake recruiters can post.

☆ LinkedIn has a fake account problem it's trying to fix. Real users are part of the solution

While 95.3% of those fake accounts were stopped at registration by automated defenses, according to the company, there was a nearly 28% increase in fake accounts caught compared to the previous six-month period. For these reasons it can serve the purposes of bad actors to have fake LinkedIn profiles, Khan said. "Bad actors are trying to craft fake identities and make them look real by leaving a plausible-looking digital footprint across different platforms," Khan said. The challenge for LinkedIn users is that profiles on social media platforms are easy to create and are typically not verified in any way. The model helps increase the effectiveness of LinkedIn's automated anti-abuse defenses to help detect and remove fake accounts before they can reach members.
