Beware if a job posting…

• does not indicate the company name
• comes from an email address that doesn't match the company name
• offers to pay a large amount for little work
• offers you a job without ever interacting with you
• asks you to pay an application fee
• wants you to transfer money from one account to another
• offers to send you a check before you do any work
• asks you to give your credit card or bank account numbers
• asks for copies of personal documents
• says you must send payment by wire service or courier
• offers you a large payment for allowing the use of your bank account - often for depositing checks or transferring money
• sends you an unexpectedly large check 

No legitimate employer asks you for money.

No legitimate employer will send payment in advance and ask the employee to send a portion of it back. 

DO NOT provide any personal information - especially social security numbers or financial/banking information.
