Answer 1

What to do:

• Stay Cautious: If the employer seems legitimate, take note of their contact details and company name. However, always be cautious of scams.
• Ask for Details: Politely ask for more information about the company, role, interview process, and registered number over the APNA PORTAL. Legitimate employers will provide clear details and should be transparent about the role.
• Verify the Employer
  • Company Details: Look up the company online to ensure it exists and is legitimate.
  • Job Posting: Cross-check if the job details are available on the Apna Portal. You can also connect with us on support@apna.co to share the employer details (number and company name). Our support team will cross-verify and confirm the details to proceed or not.
• Do not share sensitive information: Never share personal or financial details (like bank accounts, credit card numbers, etc.) over the phone unless you're certain the employer is legitimate.
