A cybersecurity expert has urged people looking for jobs online to be very careful. David Gyedu warns that many online job ads are not real.
He explained that scammers use social media, blogs, and messaging apps. They use these to find people who are looking for work.
Gyedu advised job seekers to be suspicious of offers that seem too easy or pay too much. These are often signs of a scam.
The expert spoke about the growing number of job scams. Many Ghanaians have lost money or personal information to these fake job offers.
He stressed the importance of checking the legitimacy of any company or job posting before applying.
Gyedu encouraged people to do their research. This includes looking for official company websites and contact information.
He also suggested asking for proof of the company's existence and the job's authenticity.
The warning comes as more people turn to online platforms for employment opportunities.
