Staying Safe: How to Avoid Scammers
Looking for work can be a little unnerving – especially for vulnerable applicants. Even so, you can avoid the most common Internet scams and situations that scammers target, by:
- Being careful about supplying any personal details (e.g. driving licence number, passport information).
- Never sharing your credit or debit card details.
- Being cautious about clicking on links to external websites that may not be legitimate (e.g. learn how to spot copycat websites).
Note: Check out our Job Search help guide for information about the government ‘Find a job’ service (including advice about apprenticeships and traineeships).
