Types of Email Job Scams

Some job scams do not even use job search websites.  Instead, they send emails directly to individual email addresses.  You may receive an email offering you a job; the email is often from a Yahoo, AOL, Gmail, or Hotmail account, although scammers occasionally use a fake company domain name.

Legitimate hiring managers do not use a personal email addresses.  If the email comes from a company domain, check that it matches the actual company domain—that is, if you get an email from rocky.rocket@utoledo.edu, confirm that "utoledo.edu" is the company's real website. 

Once again, these unsolicited job offers are not legitimate; no company will offer you a job without even knowing who you are. 

Other email scams use a technique called "spoofing." They send you an email containing a link to a posting that appears to come from a legitimate job search site, but it is in fact fraudulent.
