Fraud and scam awareness

A real job should not put your safety at risk

Pause and verify any vacancy or message that requests money, banking credentials, passwords, or unnecessary sensitive information.

Common warning signs

Upfront fees, guaranteed placement, pressure to act immediately, communication from unrelated domains, vague job details, and requests for banking login information are serious warning signs.

Verify independently

Check the employer's official website and contact channels. Compare the original source linked on Plug Connect and avoid downloading unexpected executable files.

Report concerns

Send the job URL, message details, and supporting evidence to support@plugconnect.co.za. Do not forward passwords, full identity numbers, or banking credentials.
