How to Spot Fake Job Ads in South Africa
Warning signs that can help you avoid scams when applying for jobs, internships, and learnerships.
Fake job ads often create urgency, ask for money, and push applicants to use unofficial channels like personal WhatsApp numbers or random email addresses.
A legitimate employer should not charge an application fee. Be suspicious if you are asked to pay for forms, shortlisting, transport, uniforms, or guaranteed placement.
Compare the advert with the employer's official website. Check the company name, domain, reference number, and closing date.
If something feels off, stop and verify it first. It is better to miss one doubtful advert than to lose money or documents to a scam.
