I know something like 50% of all job listings are fake “ghost jobs”, but these flat-out scams are popping up more often. Here’s one I got recently in my inbox.

Seems like common sense, but I’m seeing all kinds of techniques – obvious and less obvious. Any time you see any of the following from a “recruiter”, it’s probably BS:

1. No LinkedIn company page.

2. Too-good-to-be-true salaries.

3. Asking for your phone number.

4. Fake company pages with forms (more advanced).

5. Asking for money (yeah that’s happening).
