Warning signs

  • A fee is needed before you get the job, visa or loan.
  • Offers that sound too easy: a guaranteed visa, a job without an interview.
  • New fees keep appearing: processing, tax, insurance.
  • They won't meet in person or show a real office.

How to stay safe

  1. 1 Real employers do not charge you for a job.
  2. 2 Check agents with the official authority before paying any fee.
  3. 3 Never pay to "hold" a flat or item you haven't seen.
