Be wary if job ads promise high pay for minimal effort or qualifications. Multi-level marketing gigs luring applicants by touting lavish lifestyles. Postings using generic job descriptions or fake company info should raise suspicions. Requests for personal details like bank account numbers or high upfront payments seem dubious. Poorly written postings with bad grammar or spelling mistakes seem questionable. Lack of an online presence or reputation for the company warrants caution. Trust your gut instinct if something just feels deceitful or illegally easy. When in doubt, thoroughly vet the job posting before proceeding with your application.
