How to identify fraudulent job Ads

Did you ever attend a job interview only to be asked to pay some amount for one thing or another?

In today’s world, it has become almost the norm to take advantage of and defraud earnest job seekers who are perceived to be gullible especially with the proliferation of online job listings and applications. There have been instances where after participating at the National Youth Service Corp, you receive phone calls from people claiming to have served with you and who have uncles or aunties in some big companies that are hiring, asking you to pay for some ridiculous amount to fast track it. More often than not, these are from scammers looking for people to prey on.
