MANCHESTER – Officials are warning people not to apply to a school job posted on Indeed.com because it is fraudulent.
If someone applies to that job, they are sent an email from a Google account (not an official school account) which requests personal information. The applicant is also given tasks involving money and purchasing items, police said.
Police shared warning signs to look for when applying for a job online:
- The e-mail address does not match the company’s name and does not use the company’s domain name.
- The job posting is vague and the wording is not well written.
- “No experience necessary”
- The “recruiter” asks for your personal information through e-mail or a non-secure server.
- The “recruiter” tasks you with an assignment involving money, checks, or purchasing items for the company.
- The “recruiter” asks for money from the applicant.
- If the job posting seems too good to be true, it most likely is.
