nullHow can you tell if an email message regarding a job is a scam?  When you are job searching, it can be hard to differentiate between scams and legitimate employment related email messages.

However, many job scams will send you an email saying that you got the job before meeting with you in person.  In other cases, you may receive unsolicited email from scammers regarding jobs you never applied for.

Here's information on the various types of email job scams and how to avoid them.   In addition, here are examples of scam email messages scammers send.  Even though the company names varies, the messages are very similar and they are all designed to take advantage of job seekers.
