Have you ever been conned? Lucky you if you have never gone through this heartbreaking experience. Many job seekers around the country have a taste of what am talking about. Social media has always been leading in good and bad. Unfortunately, fake job organizations have taken up the social media conning innocent job seekers of money and other valuables. Don’t be worried anymore if you are a job seeker, as here are crucial tips to avoid conmen who advertise fake jobs to con from you:Never send any feesMost of the job vacancies asking for any document processing fees are fake. More so, it doesn’t add up why you should send money some days to the interview, which you are not sure of passing. Be aware of this trick as it is the one conmen are using to con innocent job seekers of their little survival money.Don’t leave valuables with strangersMany people have lost valuables such as laptops, mobile phones, purses and other things because they left them with strangers to enter interview rooms. When going for an interview, it is recommended that you carry a rough paper for your rehearsing with your mobile phone. You should never leave valuables with strangers to enter an interview room. Don’t meet people in hidden placesMost conmen use secret places for their interviews with their prey. Avoid places where conmen can easily mug you with no one noticing. If you have to meet outside for an interview, be in an open place where there are people. Avoid secluded places and rooms you doubt.Don’t give unnecessary informationMost conmen ask for too much information from you during an interview. Some questions which raise your eyebrows will be avoided. Such questions will be in a bit to give these conmen information about your whereabout so that they follow you later and con you. Avoid weird time schedules for meetingMost interviews are carried out during the morning and afternoon hours. It doesn’t add up going for an interview scheduled late in the evening or even at night. Trust me, you are going to be robbed everything. Avoid such interviews as they will only be trapping you for something you will regret all your life.
