A job offer wants money first. Is it real?
Learn what to check when a job asks you to pay.
Do not pay a recruiter to get a job. That is a serious scam warning.
Do not send cash, card codes, or bank details for an offer you have not checked.
Some roles need a license or training. Check those costs with the official body yourself.
Try this
- Pause before paying.
- Find the employer site yourself.
- Check that the job and recruiter are real.
- Ask about the fee through that known route.
- Use the real employer process to join the team.
A message you can copy
List ways to check a job offer that asks for a fee. Do not ask for private files.
Paste the message into ChatGPT, then fill in any blanks before you send it. ChatGPT opens in a new tab. Opening it does not send the message.

A real employer may need bank details to pay you. Check the job first and use its approved forms.
