It sounds like the perfect job and offers a really high salary, but no real job information. Is it a job or a scam? Don't get taken by job scams. Learn what to look for.

Yes, there are a lot of fake job ads out there and the job sites are not taking steps to verify the job exists. I tell job applicants to be careful with revealing too much personal information. I encourage using an email address rather than an address and phone number to avoid identity theft. Once the job has been confirmed as being real, then that information can be revealed as needed. Some sites even have the nerve to ask for a job applicant's social security number immediately. Red light here! That information should be for when you have been offered a job and they may need your social security number for a background check.

Good point, our organization stopped asking for social security information on applications quite a few years ago. It always amazes me when I see social security numbers on resumes!
