Job Scam Checklist

Offer letter mila to khushi hoti hai, aur yahi khushi job scam wale ka sabse bada hathiyaar hai. Is guide mein hum ek banaya hua offer letter dekhte hain aur uski five red flags check karte hain. Jo baatein sarkari pages (I4C, NCS, RBI) par likhi hain, wo wahi se hain. Jo meri apni salah hai, uspe saaf likha hai "meri salah".

Job scam kya hota hai

I4C (Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre, MHA) ki advisory ke hisaab se, job scam tab hota hai jab ek fraudster khud ko employer ya recruiter bata kar attractive employment ka offer deta hai, aur job seeker se pehle se kuch paise maangta hai.

• I4C ki advisory mein bataya gaya hai ki fraudster online ads dete hain: ghar se kaam karke kam time aur kam mehnat mein bahut paisa.
• Messages jaise "Your CV has been selected for a job" ya "Accept this job and earn daily salary" bheje jaate hain.
• Phir registration ke naam par ek website par personal details bharwayi jaati hain, aur verification ya registration ke liye paise add karne ko kaha jaata hai.
• Aise paise fraudsters nikaal lete hain, aur chori hui personal ya financial jaankari se aage aur cyber crime ho sakte hain.

Five red flags, ek ek karke

Offer letter aaye to step by step

1. Ruk jao. Koi paisa mat do, koi bank / card details mat bhejo. I4C: bina employer ko authenticate kiye kisi bhi registration ya doosre kaam ke liye payment mat karo.
2. Company ka naam online search karo, saath mein "scam", "fraud" ya "complaint" likh ke. I4C ki advisory yehi tareeka batati hai, taaki dikhe ki aise scams to nahi ho rahe.
3. Check karo ki offer anjaan sender ke text ya email se to nahi aaya. I4C: aise tempting offers se bacho.
4. Urgency ko bhi flag maano. I4C ke hisaab se fraudsters aksar jaldi karne ka dabaav banate hain: "abhi pay karo, aaj hi join karo".
5. Registration ke naam par kisi link par personal details mat bharo, jab tak employer ko authenticate na kar lo.
6. Offer letter ki photo kisi bharosemand dost ya ghar waale ko dikhao (meri salah). Dusri aankh aksar wahi pakad leti hai jo hum khushi mein miss kar dete hain.
7. Shak ho ya paise chale gaye hon, to turant report karo: helpline 1930 ya cybercrime.gov.in.

Agar paise ya details de diye

• Turant helpline 1930 par call karo, ya National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (cybercrime.gov.in) par complaint darj karo. Portal par complaint ke categories hain: Women/Children Related Crime, Financial Fraud, Other Cyber Crime.
• RBI ke hisaab se, koi unauthorised transaction dikhe to apne bank / service provider ko turant batao, taaki card / account / wallet block ho sake.
• Card ya account details share ho gayi hon, to bank se baat karo. Dobara kisi ko mat bhejo.
• I4C ke "CyberDost" channels ko social media par follow karo, naye alerts aur tips ke liye.

Aam galtiyan

• Sirf logo ya letterhead dekh ke bharosa karna. NCS ke page par bhi likha hai ki kuch log NCS ka logo istemaal karte hain, par wo fraudulent hain.
• "Fee thodi si hai" soch ke de dena. NCS: employers ko fees dena nahi chahiye.
• Registration link par personal details bhar dena (I4C ki advisory mein yahi step bataya gaya hai).
• Report karne mein der karna. Advisories "immediately" report karne ko kehti hain.
• Sirf ek flag dekh ke dar jaana ya sab ignore kar dena. Flags signal hain: check karo, phir decide karo.

Meri checklist (offer aate hi tick karo)

Ye guide jaankari ke liye hai, guarantee ya legal advice nahi. Koi bhi checklist har scam nahi pakad sakti: shak ho to paise ya details dene se pehle ruk jao.
