Avoiding Job Scams and Fraudulent Emails

1. What GRC Careers will never do

• We will never ask you to pay anything to apply for a job, to be considered, or to "release" an offer. We charge employers to post, never candidates.
• We will never ask for your password, and never by email. No legitimate message from us will request it.
• We will never ask for your bank account, Social Security number, or payment details as part of applying. That information belongs in a real hiring process with a verified employer, not in an application.
• We do not store your resume, and when you apply, your information goes to that employer directly. We are not a middleman holding your data for ransom.

2. Phishing: spotting a fake email

Phishing is a fake message dressed up to look real, sent to steal your password, your money, or your identity. Real email from GRC Careers comes only from addresses ending in @ai-governance-jobs.com. Treat anything else as suspect. Be especially wary of a message that:

• Comes from a free or lookalike domain (gmail, outlook, or a misspelled version of our name).
• Asks for your password, payment, or financial details.
• Pushes you to act immediately or move the conversation to WhatsApp, Telegram, or personal text.
• Offers a job you never applied for, or an offer with no interview.
• Contains odd grammar, mismatched links, or attachments you were not expecting.

3. Red flags of a job scam

• Money flows the wrong way. A real employer pays you. If you are asked to pay for training, equipment, a background check, or "starter kits," it is a scam.
• Check or transfer schemes. Being sent a check to deposit and then asked to forward part of it, or to buy gift cards, is fraud every time.
• Too fast, too good. A high salary, no interview, and instant onboarding are not generosity, they are bait.
• Remote jobs that seem too good to be true. Work-from-home offers with high pay, no experience needed, and hiring on the spot are the single most common job-scam format. A real remote role still has a real interview, a company you can verify, and it never asks you to pay or to move money for it.
• Personal data, too soon. No legitimate employer needs your bank login or full SSN before a real offer and verification.

4. How to report a scam

If you receive a suspicious message claiming to be from GRC Careers, or you spot a fraudulent listing on our board, tell us so we can shut it down. Email contact@ai-governance-jobs.com with the subject line "Scam report," or use our complaint form and choose "A job listing or employer." Forward the original message if you can.

You can also report job scams to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov and, for online fraud, to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov.
