With remote work booming, job scams are getting smarter.
In 2025, scammers are using AI-generated job ads, fake recruiter profiles, and phishing tactics to trick freelancers and job seekers.
Here are some quick red flags to watch out for 👇
✅ Too good to be true offers – high pay for little work.
✅ Requests to move off-platform – asking you to chat on WhatsApp/Telegram right away.
✅ Payment before work – asking for “registration fees” or “security deposits.”
✅ No verifiable company presence – fake websites, cloned LinkedIn pages, or shady email domains.
These scams are evolving fast — and it’s becoming harder to separate legit offers from fakes.
