You have been using Might?which shows there is also a possibility of it not being a scam. How do one know for certain it isn't a scam?

How about those ones that say you should send your name and other details to a phone number?
Re: How To Detect Job Scam!!! by Lekmusic: 1:59pm On Mar 26, 2012
Points 2 and 3 shouldn't have the word 'might' but 'definitely'.

Any job advert that asks you to pay even 1 kobo is a fraud.

How much does it cost to create a website that is not registered to a genuine COY? If a website is linked to google and others does not mean that the job posting is not a scam.

Yeah true, like someone just pointed out, to 'protect' their identity and for other reasons best known to them, some coys could just use an employee's e-mail however adding up 2+2 would show the 'desperation' if such is a scammer.

@topic Any job that doesn't specify the discipline (e.g. Any qualification) might be a scam. Please note the difference here o! I've seen ads that the 'qualifications' are not specified yet the job requirements show specialty in an area. It's in the scammer's desperation that he wants 'mass applications' from mugus so s/he makes sure there are no 'barriers to entry' yet the job could be a position for Senior Financial Analyst.

Re: How To Detect Job Scam!!! by afinic001(m): 10:45pm On Apr 22, 2012
There is no fool proof method to detect a scam. The ONLY way to know is when they ask for money(no matter how little under any guise). Cos d aim of scams is to dupe people. So, when you are asked to pay money, pls RUN!!!!
