Critical Red Flags to Recognize

⚠️ Mandatory Verification Checklist

  • Demand registration number – Legitimate agencies have government-issued licenses
  • Reject Telegram-only or WhatsApp-only recruitment – Professional companies use official channels
  • Never pay fees for job offers or visas – Legitimate employers cover these costs
  • Confirm employers directly via official websites – Cross-check all information
  • Trust your instincts – If it sounds urgent, emotional, or too easy—it is likely a scam
📱

Messaging-Only Recruitment

Scammers avoid official email, websites, and physical addresses. They operate exclusively through encrypted messaging apps to avoid detection.

💸

Upfront Payment Demands

Requests for "processing fees," "visa deposits," or "administrative costs" before any formal contract is a major red flag.

🚨

Urgency & Emotional Pressure

Creating false urgency ("Limited slots!") or emotional manipulation ("This is your only chance") to bypass rational verification.
