🚨 RED FLAGS - Never Pay for Jobs!

If ANY opportunity asks for money, it's a SCAM. Report it immediately.

Common Job Scams in South Africa

❌ "Pay for Registration"

Scammers ask R200-R500 "registration fee." Real employers NEVER charge to apply.

❌ "Work from Home - Earn R10k/week"

Unrealistic promises. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

❌ WhatsApp-Only Hiring

Professional companies use email and official platforms, not just WhatsApp.

❌ "Urgency Tactics"

"Apply NOW or lose this opportunity!" Pressure = scam.
