Avoiding Job Scams

While we all expect every ad that we come across to be legitimate,  we must always use precaution and common sense to avoid being scammed and defrauded. If something sounds to good to be true, it usually is. If a company is asking for money upfront for training, certification, or placement, please do your research first before handing over any of your hard earned money. You could easily be giving it away to a crook. LocalJobseek reviews every job ad placed on this site. Though we try aggressively to protect our users from fraud and keep our web community safe, we cannot make any guarantees. If you find a suspicious job ad on LocalJobseek or have been victimized by a job scam, please flag the ad on the ad's page and/or contact us online to report the problem.
