10 Signs That Job Might Be A Scam

Scammers want you scrambling.

Let’s disappoint them.

Scammers exist.

And they waste your time ⏳, your energy ⚡, and your hope 💭.

Job hunting is already hard enough.

We don’t need scammers preying on people who are doing their best to move forward 💼.

This isn’t about panic 😱.

It’s about staying clear, calm, and aware 🧘‍♂️.

Sometimes my clients get approached.

And they don’t get tricked — in part because they’re getting coached 🎯.

They’ve got backup.

Someone helping them spot what’s real… and what’s not.

Here are:
10 Signs That Job Might Be a Scam

1) They contact you out of nowhere
Didn’t apply — and they’re already offering a job?

2) Too-good-to-be-true salary
$125K for remote data entry? 🚩

3) No phone or video call
Avoids Zoom. Won’t hop on the phone. Wants to “chat” over text 📱.

4) Email doesn’t match the company domain
Like [email protected] claiming to be from Microsoft 💻.

5) Vague job description
“Work with a dynamic team” = a whole lot of nothing 🫠.

6) The role makes zero sense for your background
You struggle to change your screensaver — and they want you managing a data center? 🤔

7) They send you a check
It “clears.” You send money. Then it bounces 🧾. Classic scam move.

8) Super fast “interview”
No questions. No real process. Just “you’re hired” ✉️.

9) They’re impersonating something real
The company is legit. The person is real.
The one messaging? Not who they say they are 🎭.

10) It just feels off
Your gut doesn’t lie. Trust it 💡.

🛡️ Pro Tip:
 Scammers rely on distraction 🌀, urgency ⏰, and ambiguity 🌫️.
 Focus and deliberate clarity change everything.
