\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Cyber Security Authority has raised a job scam alert following reported incidents across the country.<\/p>\n

In a public alert statement, the CSA indicated a sharp rise in job scam incidents.<\/p>\n

It said it received at least 15 reports through the cybercrime \/cyber security incident reporting points of contact with victims losing over GH\u00a2124,000.<\/p>\n

According to the CSA, citizens ought to beware of unsolicited messages offering job opportunities as these scammers tend to pose as recruiters to fleece unsuspecting people.<\/p>\n

The CSA added that people must be skeptical of advertisements that promise high-paying jobs that require minimal work.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it seems too good to be true, it\u2019s likely a scam,\u201d the CSA stated.<\/p>\n

It noted that poor grammar, spelling mistakes, or unprofessional communication in job advertisements tend to be giveaways that the said advertisement is not genuine and should be ignored.<\/p>\n

However, in the absence of these, job-seekers are entreated to verify job advertisements directly with the company\u2019s official website or contact information.<\/p>\n

\u201cAvoid relying solely on communication through email or instant messaging,\u201d the CSA stated.<\/p>\n

Also, job-seekers have been advised against sharing personal or financial information unless they are certain of the legitimacy of the prospective employer.<\/p>\n
