Protect Yourself From Jobs Offered Thru Email


If you receive an overseas job offer via email, beware. Email scams are proliferating offering high paying jobs to overseas multinational companies. Here is how to detect an email scam:

  1. You will be told that they found your resume through a job bank.
  2. The company will require you to undergo a seminar/training fee.
  3. You will be tasked to pay a reservation fee, OWWA membership and other taxes.

Once you have paid the amount, the person will simply disappear without communication.

To protect yourself from these types of frauds, check and verify the existence of the company and call up the person who sent you the email using the office number of the company.
