80 percent of job adverts placed online are scams. Even nairaland is not left out. From their ways, it seems like these scammers are getting very desperate.....looking for whom to devour.....especially with entry-level adverts.

The following are ways in which i believe one can tell if an online job advert is a Scam.
1) If it has non-business address/ private emails. E.g. hr.pconsult@gmail.com instead of hr@pconsult.com
2) If the advert is written poorly with lots of grammatical errors.
3) If the link in the advert takes you somewhere else
4) If it requests you to send your bank account information
5) If you are asked to make any payments first or purchase forms
6) If it sounds too good to be true or Something dont seem right
7) If it promise to help you get rich quick
If the advert is not detailed and you are asked to call a certain number for details

My advise is for all job seekers using the internet to search for jobs to BE CAREFUL. Try to confirm an advert by visiting the company's website, Use Google and ask friends.

Please, my fellow nairalanders, the above list is not exhaustive. If there is a way you easily tell if a job advert is a scam, kindly share. You might save someone through this....
