Applicant Safety & Scam Prevention

Check the organization

Review the organization profile, official website and public contact channels where available. Look for a verified badge, and be wary when the only contact route is a personal phone number or a free email address.

Be cautious with payments

Do not pay money merely to apply for an opportunity advertised here. No genuine employer charges for considering an application. Verify any unusual financial request directly with the recruiting organization using contact details you looked up yourself — never the ones in the suspicious message.

Protect personal information

Share only information reasonably required for the application, and avoid sending passwords, PINs, mobile-money codes or unrelated financial credentials.

• Legitimate employers do not need your bank PIN or mobile-money code.
• Send copies of your national ID or licence only when the application genuinely requires them.
• Be careful with documents sent over messaging apps to unverified contacts.

Notice the pressure tactics

Urgency, exclusivity, threats of losing the slot, and requests to move the conversation off official channels are all standard scam patterns. Slow down and verify before you act.
