Dear Jobseeker,
We want to warn you about a rising threat involving fraudulent job offers. Scammers are sending deceptive emails pretending to offer job opportunities with reputable companies. These scammers often impersonate trusted organizations, using fake documents and even adopting foreign accents to appear legitimate and gain your trust.
Signs of Fraudulent Emails:
•Unrealistic salary packages and benefits that sound too good to be true.
•Requests for upfront payments, processing fees, or visa charges.
•Unprofessional, poorly written job descriptions or emails with generic greetings.
•Use of free email services (like Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook) instead of company-specific domains.
If you receive such an email, we strongly recommend reporting it to the company being falsely represented. Quick action helps protect others from falling victim to these scams.
How to Verify a Job Offer:
•Visit the company’s official website and cross-check job listings on their careers page.
•Be cautious if you are asked to pay for any job-related expenses like processing, travel, or training fees.
•Stay informed about common scams by using platforms like icqjob.com Security Advice section.
•Ensure the email address is official – legitimate companies use custom email domains, not free services like Gmail or Yahoo.
At Icqjob.com, our mission is to provide a trusted platform that connects job seekers with employers. However, we are not a recruitment agency. We work with legitimate corporations, placement agencies, and recruitment firms who follow strict policies to prevent fraud.
Watch out for emails that:
•Request personal or financial details, such as credit card or bank information.
•Provide suspicious international contact details or fail to give a valid phone number.
•Demand payments for applications, interviews, visas, or other recruitment processes.
•Guarantee immediate employment or expedited hiring in exchange for payment.
•Offer visa services and request money to process work permits or immigration documents.
Before replying to any job-related email, verify the legitimacy of the sender. If you suspect it’s a scam, report it immediately to complaint@icqjob.com. Your safety is our top priority, and we are dedicated to ensuring a secure, fraud-free job search for all users.

Spoofing Scams: These fake job offers typically come from incomplete or disguised email addresses. They often lack valid contact information. Always verify the sender’s details before responding.
We are committed to making your job search safe and reliable. Stay vigilant, and protect yourself from scams.
