Work-from-home job offer
Fake work-from-home listings ask for a registration fee, Aadhaar copies, or a test payout before any work starts.
Warning signs
- 01
The salary is high and the interview is only a Telegram or WhatsApp chat.
- 02
They ask for a registration fee, a “laptop kit”, or a refundable deposit before day one.
- 03
They want Aadhaar, PAN, or a cancelled cheque before any company name checks out.
- 04
A small test payment is sent so you will trust the next, larger request.
- 05
The company website is new, or the offer letter logo does not match the real firm.
A real employer does not charge you to start work or to “unlock” your first salary.
