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. There are people who are earning a lot from the online jobs and so are concentrating on the online jobs for a full time basis. As a result, scammers have gotten into the act.

Some websites were created to monitor online scams. It was found out that scammers have come up with around 550 fake sites to deceive people. Most of the sites were opened in the US. It is 2012 now. Do you have an idea how many more have come up now?

Will it be possible for you to detect a fake site when looking for job online. Are there any signs to protect you from the scams. Most online scammers are hard to spot. They have learned what job seekers are looking for and they provide it. Because of this, many have professional graphics, professional copywriters, and fake reviews. Legitimate web sites are also not safe from these scammers.

You can take the help of the telltale signs available. While starting make sure to look at the website properly. Does it look right? Is everything looking fine? Is the email genuine? Is It from a corporate domain rather that a popular provider, such as Gmail, or yahoo? Is there something that just doesn't seem right about the site? Are they only using web names to draw the attention of the people.? Do they sound to good to be true?

Look for this company in popular sites like BobBear.co.uk. Look for any information regarding the site. Does the company you are checking on, pop up here as a fake or scam?

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.

If you are going to get a job online, you want to make sure you do your homework. Proper companies will need your name and email to start the process. The scam websites can be of great help for you.

If you do these simple things, you have a much better chance of finding an online business that is legitimate. Before filling up online forms always make sure to have a thorough check.
