I got a work-from-home job offer with no interview. Is it a scam?
Check the employer and job before you share details or move money.
A polished offer can be fake, whether AI wrote it or not. No interview is a reason to check. It is not proof on its own.
Watch for a check to buy gear, requests to send money on, or deposits to unlock paid tasks. Funds shown in a bank account do not prove a check is good.
Do not pay a stranger to secure a promised job.
- Find the real firm's jobs page or contact through a source outside the offer.
- Ask if the recruiter and role are real. A real company name can be copied.
- Check the job, pay, duties and hiring steps in writing. No complaints online does not prove the offer is sound.
- Do not send back part of a check or pay to release earnings. If you did, contact the payment service promptly.
- Share tax or bank details only after you check the real employer and its hiring process. Keep those details out of ChatGPT.
Use a made-up offer: 'We will send a check for gear. Send the spare cash to our vendor.' Explain the concern. Give steps to check the employer. Do not name a real company or declare an offer safe.
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.
Check whether the job exists instead of guessing whether AI wrote the email.
