Find the organisation independently
Search for the employer’s official website or an established official contact, rather than using only the number inside the suspicious message. Ask whether the role, recruiter and application route are genuine.
Inspect what the request actually asks
Separate a job application from a payment, account login or demand for identity documents. A link can show a company name while leading elsewhere. Check the destination before entering information and never share a password or verification code with a recruiter.
Pause on unexpected charges
Ask what the charge is for and verify it with the named institution through another channel. Do not assume every professional registration charge is a scam, but do not treat an unverified person’s payment instructions as official.
Preserve evidence and report the listing
Save the message, sender details, link and any payment request without forwarding sensitive documents publicly. If a Work.tz summary is involved, use our contact form with the listing link. Work.tz never guarantees employment or sells application access.
