Red Flags for Job Scams

Contact NAU Career Development at career@nau.edu

The Don'ts

  • Notify the organization posting the job
  • If you saw the job position on Jobs for Jacks, contact NAU Career Development
  • Do not continue contacting the employer
  • Never wire transfer money to someone you don't know
  • Never give out your bank account number, SSN, or credit card number early in the job search process or via phone or email
  • Organizations can legally ask you for your SSN as part of a formal application process
  • Being offered the job without an interview
  • Job duties that do not match the initial job description
  • Email addresses that don't match the organization's name
  • Prepaying you for services or sending you a check
  • Asking you to pay a fee
  • Ridiculous compensation such as making $50-$100 an hour for running errands
  • "Hiring" you over email without having to fill out personnel or tax forms
