Safe jobs
Our pledge, and how to spot fake job offers
Job scams hurt freshers the most. Here is what we promise, and what to watch for anywhere.
The Pakka Jobs pledge
- Every opening comes from a real hiring partner.
- The fee for each opening (none, pay after placement, or a training fee) is written on the opening before you register.
- We take no payment on this website.
- Any fee is explained in writing and on the call, and you can say no.
- We never promise a guaranteed job. The employer decides who is selected.
- You can ask us to delete your details at any time.
8 signs of a fake job offer
If you see even one of these, stop and check before you share any money or documents.
1. They ask for money before any interview
Genuine employers do not charge for an interview, a joining kit or a registration.
2. A job offer for a job you never applied for
Be careful about offers that arrive out of the blue, especially with high pay.
3. Salary that is too good to be true
Very high pay for no skills or experience is a common trap.
4. No clear company, office address or contact
Ask for the company name, the office address and a landline or official email.
5. Interviews only on WhatsApp or Telegram
A real process has a proper interview, in person or by video.
6. Pressure to pay or decide today
Genuine offers give you time. Pressure is a warning sign.
7. Free email addresses pretending to be a company
Be careful if a big company writes from a personal email.
8. They ask for your bank details or OTP
Never share an OTP, card PIN or bank password with anyone.
