नौकरी के लिए कभी पैसे न दें। रजिस्ट्रेशन फीस, यूनिफॉर्म डिपॉज़िट या इंटरव्यू फीस मांगे तो वह धोखा हो सकता है।

Every year many people lose money to fake job offers. The rule is simple: a real employer never asks you to pay to get a job.

Warning signs

  • They ask for a registration fee, uniform deposit, training fee or "security money".
  • They ask you to pay to confirm an interview or to get an offer letter.
  • The salary promised is far higher than similar jobs, with no real work details.
  • They only talk on a personal number and refuse to share the company address.
  • They pressure you to decide today.

What to do

  • Never send money, OTPs, bank passwords or card details to anyone about a job.
  • Ask for the exact job location and visit it, preferably with a friend or family member.
  • Check the job on a trusted platform. On ChaloKaamPe, applying is always free.
  • If you already paid, keep screenshots and payment proof and report it on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (cybercrime.gov.in) or call 1930.
