WARNING: Job Site Scams
Spotted on Facebook.

Can I get you to give the page members a warning about something they might come up against, as it’s happening on the major sites, not just little ones? One of my friends, who has been out of work for 4 years, was just nearly caught by it.
There’s’s a very cruel scam going on right now on some of the job sites (Gumtree, Indeed, and a few others), aimed at the unemployed. When you apply to the job advertised you get an offer and sent a list of hours, but asked to send £50 or £60 to cover the cost of a CRB check. Now these scams are clever. They use either hijacked ads from real companies, or false businesses using a minor variation on a big company’s name. There is no actual job, and this sort of thing is run by truly sick people picking on the desperate.
