Due to the economical depression many people are out of work. When the regular job market becomes difficult, those looking for work turn to other avenues to find employment. People are very interested in the online job market. The online jobs are helping people earn a lot of money. As a result, scammers have gotten into the act.

Some websites were created to monitor online scams. They report that scammers produced 550 fake websites in 2009 focused on fleecing people. Most of those were in the US. It is 2012 now. Do you have an idea how many more have come up now?

If you are one of those people looking for work online, how do you spot online job scams? Are there any signs to protect you from the scams. Most online scammers are hard to spot. They understand the mindset of the jobseekers very well. A lot of professional copywriters, graphic designers and even fake reviews are provided to deceive the people. Legitimate web sites are also not safe from these scammers.

You can take the help of the telltale signs available. At the beginning look at the website carefully. How does it appear? Is the email genuine? Is It from a corporate domain rather that a popular provider, such as Gmail, or yahoo? Is there anything wrong about the page? In order to attract people are they using popular web names? Do they sound a bit strange?

Look for this company in popular sites like BobBear.co.uk. Look for any information regarding the site. Does the company you are checking appear fake here?

If the company is asking about your personal details then it expected to be a scam. Is the company trying to convince you that they are legal, with words such as "100% legal?" They are not.

Do you homework properly in order to get a job online. Legitimate companies only demand for you name and email id before starting the process. The scam websites can be of great help for you.

All these steps will help you find a company that is legitimate. Thoroughly check the online form before filling it up.
