Job Seeker Safety and Anti-Scam Policy
1. Our safety position
Genuine Jobs Alert is committed to helping readers find genuine opportunities while reducing exposure to scams, impersonation, phishing, fake recruitment, and misleading application schemes.
We encourage every reader to verify opportunities independently before applying, sending documents, attending interviews, paying any fee, travelling, or sharing sensitive information.
2. We do not charge applicants
Genuine Jobs Alert does not charge readers to access opportunity information and does not charge applicants for jobs, scholarships, fellowships, grants, internships, tenders, or remote work notices.
Any person claiming that payment to Genuine Jobs Alert will guarantee a job, scholarship, visa, interview, shortlist, offer letter, or appointment is acting without authority.
3. Red flags to check
Requests for money before employment, scholarship award, interview, visa processing, training, equipment, background checks, or medical clearance through unofficial channels.
Requests for passwords, one-time verification codes, bank PINs, card details, or unnecessary identity documents at an early stage.
Email addresses, domains, or messaging accounts that do not match the official organization website.
Offers that promise guaranteed selection without a competitive process, formal eligibility checks, or official written communication.
Poorly written messages, pressure to act immediately, private payment instructions, or refusal to provide an official source link.
4. Safe application practices
Apply through official organization websites or verified application portals whenever possible.
Confirm deadlines, eligibility, location, salary or funding details, and application documents from the original source.
Keep copies of applications, emails, receipts, official links, and communication history.
Do not send highly sensitive documents until you are sure the recipient is legitimate and the request is necessary for the application stage.
Ask a trusted professional, mentor, teacher, parent, guardian, or colleague before acting on suspicious instructions.
5. Reporting suspicious opportunities
If you believe a post on Genuine Jobs Alert links to a fraudulent, misleading, expired, or unsafe opportunity, contact contact@genuinejobsalert.com with the post URL, reason for concern, and any supporting evidence.
We may update, correct, add a warning, or remove content after review.
