How to Check If a Remote Job Is Genuine

  1. Search the company name with words like “scam” or “fraud” and check its official website.
  2. Verify the email domain. Real companies use their own domain, not free email IDs.
  3. Expect a proper interview on video or phone. Jobs offered without any interview are suspicious.
  4. Never pay to get a job. Genuine Remote Jobs do not ask for registration, training or security deposits.
  5. Don’t share bank OTPs or passwords.
  6. Check the offer letter for company address, CIN or registration number, salary and HR contact.

  • Payment to join a “VIP task group” on Telegram
