How do I recognise suspicious job offers?

There are some typical characteristics that can help you spot fraudulent job offers:

  1. Disproportionate offers: if a job offer sounds too good to be true (e.g. an extremely high salary for simple tasks), you should be wary.
  2. Requesting confidential data: Serious employers will never ask for immediate payments, bank details or other confidential information without a valid reason.
  3. Unusual communication channels: Scammers often try to quickly switch communication to external channels (e.g. personal email, WhatsApp, Telegram). For secure communication, we recommend keeping conversations within the platform.
  4. Paying to access the job offer: Please note that no payment is ever required to access a job offer. Payments are only made to access our Premium account, but never to access a specific job offer or to get a job. You can read exactly how it works Domestico24 here.
  5. Unusual job offers: Please note that activities such as call centre work, telecommuting and other similar job offers are not part of the Doméstico24 service offer. It is therefore very likely that these offers are fraudulent or at least suspicious.

Protective measures

To ensure your safety on our platform, we recommend that you take the following steps:

  • Trust your instincts: if a job offer or communication seems suspicious to you, stop the communication and report the incident to us.
  • Protect your personal details: Be especially careful about sharing credit card details, bank details, payment information or your address.
  • Check employer profiles: Look carefully at the employer's profile
