BBB offers the following tips to avoid an employment scam:

1.Understand the Job Market. Some positions are more likely to be scams. Always be wary of work-from-home or secret shopper positions, or any job with a generic title such as caregiver, administrative assistant, or customer service rep. Positions that don't require special training or licensing appeal to a wide range of applicants. Scammers know this and use these otherwise legitimate titles in their fake ads. If the job posting is for a well-known brand, check the real company's job page to see if the position is posted there. Look online; if the job comes up in other cities with the exact same post, it's likely a scam.

2.Consider Appropriate Protocol. Different procedures should raise your suspicion. Watch out for on-the-spot job offers. You may be an excellent candidate for the job, but beware of offers made without an interview. A real company will want to talk to a candidate before hiring. Don't fall for an overpayment scam. No legitimate job would ever overpay an employee and ask for money to be wired elsewhere. This is a common trick used by scammers. And be cautious sharing personal information or any kind of pre-payment. Be careful if a company promises you great opportunities or big income as long as you pay for coaching, training, certifications or directories.

3.Research Public Employment Offers. Government agencies post all jobs publically and freely. The U.S. and Canadian federal governments and the U.S. Postal Service/Canada Postal Service never charge for information about jobs or applications for jobs. Be wary of any offer to give you special access or guarantee you a job for a fee - if you are paying for the promise of a job, it's probably a scam.

4.Get Everything in Writing. A legitimate company will provide you with a complete contract for their services with cost, what you get, who pays (you or the employer), and what happens if you do not find a job.

5.Beware Informal Communication with Spelling and/or Grammatical Errors. Reputable companies strive to ensure their correspondences are as professional as possible. Although mistakes do happen, prospects are encouraged to consider the formality of any correspondences they receive. Be aware that frequent spelling and grammatical mistakes might signify a possible scam.
