Please read on to learn about common red flags and practical tips to recognize and avoid these scams.

Understanding Recruitment Scams

Recruitment scams have surged due to the widespread use of online job platforms and the growing demand for remote work opportunities. Scammers exploit job seekers’ vulnerabilities by impersonating legitimate staffing agencies or employers. Stay alert and look out for popular ways that scammers operate:

  • Upfront Payments: Requesting fees for training or application processing.
  • Phishing Attempts: Requesting personal information like social security numbers or banking details under the guise of job applications.
  • Impersonation: Using fake websites, email domains, or profiles mimicking real companies.
  • Pressure Tactics: Creating urgency to push victims into paying or sharing information quickly.
  • Fake Job Listings: Posting attractive yet fake job offers on job boards or social media.

How to Identify a Recruitment Scam?

  • Upfront payment requests or fees for services; AND Staffing does not charge candidates for job placement - requesting payment is a huge red flag! Never share banking information, debit or credit card details and do not send payment in the form of gift cards or automatic transfers like Zelle or Venmo.
  • Unverified communication from unofficial email addresses (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo); all email communication from A.N.D. Staffing will come from an @andstaffing.com email address.
  • Promises of high salaries for minimal work or fake job descriptions.
  • Pressure tactics, such as urgent deadlines to provide personal information.
  • Poor grammar or unprofessional communication style.

Please note! Emails or messages from scammers may include our official logo or contact information to appear legitimate.
