Avoid Fake Job Offers in the UAE | Aioby Blog

Fake job offers are one of the most common problems for people looking for work in the UAE. This guide lists the warning signs and a simple checklist so you can search safely.

Warning Signs of a Fake Job Offer

You are asked to pay a fee for the job, a visa, training or "processing" before you start.
The offer is too good — very high pay for little experience or an unclear role.
The employer will not give a company name, address or a way to verify them.
Contact only through personal chat apps or free email addresses, with pressure to decide quickly.
Requests for your passport copy, bank details or ID before a formal offer.

A Safe Job Search Checklist

Search the company name and read about it from independent sources.
Check that the company has a real address, website and contact numbers.
Ask for the offer in writing, with the job title, salary and location.
Never pay money to get a job. A genuine employer pays you.
Share documents only after you have verified the employer and received a written offer.
Tell a friend or family member where you are interviewing.
