It is illegal to attempt to obtain personal or financial information from candidates in job ads.

Fraudulent emails
While we make every attempt to screen our advertisers and ensure they are using the site appropriately, we are unable to control how advertisers interact with candidates after they view a resume through our database. We do hold all advertisers to our Terms & Conditions and are committed to removing fraudulent companies from our site. We rely on the assistance of our users to do so.
Please note that some fraudulent job offers who claim to have located your resume on JOBX do not actually have access to our site. They may have copied our company logo and email formatting in an attempt to appear legitimate when it is in fact not authorised by JOBX.
Fraudulent activity might include some of the following:
- Cheque cashing scams
- Any job offer involving a ‘registration fee’ for the candidate commonly offering the ability to ‘work from home’
- Reshipping (requiring the repackaging and on forwarding of goods from your home)
- Multi-level marketing, pyramid schemes etc
- Phishing – sending ‘urgent’ emails asking you to login on to your account in order to obtain your details
- Vague job offers that does not provide reasonable information to the candidate
The following are some ways to identify fraudulent emails. These should be treated with suspicion:
- Emails that threaten life of an account - emails stating (often in an urgent manner) that your account on a website requires entry of personal details to keep it from being closed or suspended.
- Emails claiming lost information - emails stating that a company is upgrading its files or accounts and requires re-entry of your personal details.
- Emails requesting personal information - emails asking you to enter personal information such as a user ID, password or bank account details by clicking on a link or completing a form, even if the link takes you to an official looking site.
- Emails with links back to sites - links that appear to connect to an official site can be “forged links” and actually link to a site that mimics the original site. To prevent being diverted to such a site always open up a new browser window and manually type in the website address shown on the hyperlink.
- Emails that forge the sender’s address – In the header of any email, the “From” field can easily be forged to make the email look as though it was sent by a trusted website or company when in fact it may have originated elsewhere.
The best way to protect yourself is to ignore and delete such emails.
