Fraud Tips:
  • Research the company before submitting your resume or personal information to them.
  • If the company is asking you to cash checks and wire money back to them then the job is a scam.
  • Listen to your instincts. Does something seem odd in the job posting or in your comminucations with the company? Is it too good to be true?
