How to spot a fake job offer

1. Real employers don't charge you

If anyone asks you to pay for a visa, medical test, training, "processing" or a guaranteed interview, stop. Under UAE labour law, recruitment costs are paid by the employer, not by you.

2. Apply only on the official site

Check the web address before you type anything. Every apply button on this site goes straight to the employer's own careers site or their official hiring system. We show the address under each button so you can see it first.

3. Look at the email address

Offers from a big company come from that company's own email domain, not from Gmail, Yahoo or a look-alike spelling.

4. No interview, no offer

An offer letter that arrives without a real interview, or an "interview" that happens only by WhatsApp chat, is a warning sign.

5. Guard your documents

Don't send your passport, Emirates ID or bank details until you have checked the offer with the company through its official website.

If something feels wrong

Don't pay, stop replying, and contact the company through its official website to ask if the offer is real. Report fraud to the police.
