Online job fraud is a deceptive scheme where individuals or groups pose as employers or recruitment agencies offering fake job opportunities. The fraudsters often demand upfront fees under the guise of registration, documentation, training, or visa processing. Victims are lured through flashy job listings, phishing emails, or fake websites, and are often asked to share sensitive personal and financial information, leading to identity theft or monetary loss.
Prevention and legal role:
Job seekers can avoid falling victim to online job scams by verifying company credentials, avoiding upfront payments, and using recognized recruitment portals. When fraud does occur, legal remedies lie in Sections 420 (cheating) and 468 (forgery) of the IPC. A good lawyer must assist in lodging formal complaints, tracing the culprits, and initiating proceedings for recovery.
