This information could be used for fraudulent activity, and genuine employers won’t need any of these details until a formal job offer has been made and a contract signed. Suspicious details: The job description doesn’t always make sense; using words to entice you by suggesting a senior position, your job title might sound meaningless or completely made up. Doesn’t care about your skills or expertise: Scam job offers may give a lot of detail about the role, but they’ll provide very little detail about what they’re looking for in a candidate.
