Fake job offers are common, and they often use the names of real companies and consultancies. The most important rule: a genuine employer or recruiter does not ask you for money to get a job. Jobroots never charges candidates.
Warning signs
- You are asked to pay for registration, an interview, training, a uniform, a laptop or an offer letter.
- You get an offer without any interview, or after a very short chat.
- The salary is far higher than normal for the role.
- Messages come only from a personal number or email, and the person avoids video calls or office visits.
- You are pressured to decide or pay "today".
- You are asked for your bank OTP, card details or UPI PIN.
What to do
- Do not pay and do not share OTPs or PINs.
- Check with the company or consultancy using the phone number on their official website.
- Report cyber fraud at cybercrime.gov.in or call the national helpline 1930.
- If someone uses the name Jobroots, tell us on +91 79770 21911 or on WhatsApp.
