How to avoid fake government job offers
Fake job offers target people looking for government work. A few simple checks keep you safe.
Checks before you act
- Use official sites only. Government recruitment is advertised on official government portals such as ppsc.gop.pk and jobs.punjab.gov.pk.
- Never pay a person who promises a job, a shortcut or a “guaranteed” selection.
- Fees are official. If an advertisement has a fee, it is stated on the advertisement and paid through the official channel.
- Be careful with social media and chat messages that ask for money or documents.
