How to spot a fake job or scholarship advert

31 Oct 2026 · Hareeeng Editorial

Red flags

  • You are asked to pay to apply, for "processing", a "visa", training or uniform.
  • The offer arrives before you applied, or the interview happens only in chat.
  • The email comes from a free address that does not match the organisation's name.
  • The salary or benefits look too good to be true, or details are vague.

How to check

  • Find the organisation's official website yourself and look for the same advert there.
  • Phone the main number listed on the official site, not the one in the message.
  • Search the organisation's name together with the word "scam".

Every listing on Hareeeng links to its official source. If you spot something suspicious, report it.
