More people should be made aware of job scammers, it is a huge problem!!

[@murtajiz545]

Shouldn’t your company only list jobs that are official? This is VERY unprofessional and irresponsible on your guys’ part. Absolutely ridiculous.

[@eliminate100.]

RIGHT 😂😂 Heh TOO unprofessional i am angry BOI heh

[@TheDizzydizo]

How should indeed do that? Maybe suggest a solution because you seem to know a professional way to solve this ;)

[@thespoiledbratz7880]

Instead they can't protect us and yet is still a app used today unfortunately

[@QueLoKevin]

@@TheDizzydizo there should be a verification process for employers to make an account and list positions. This isn't Craigslist, I shouldnt be able to open up a listing with no verification required

[@LunaTonesZ]

I was signing up for this app but i refuse to trust a company that wont do its own freaking due diligence.

[@hibosamatar3224]

Scammers are after me and my family so bad that I got anxiety attacks. They're so aggressive, greedy, inhumane.

[@st.michaelthearchangel7774]

Yeah, they are some horrible people. If you want some satisifcation on "payback," so to speak, I highly recommend watching KitBoga's videos. He is what's called a scam baiter and calls them up, acts as different characters, with the purpose of wasting their time. He is so good at it and is very funny. :)

[@Mike6867]

I was supposed to go to a a job interview and my gps took me to this abandoned house in an open field

[@rui__sm]

did you report the fraud job?

[@Mike6867]

@@rui__sm yup

[@scorpiosfinest8501]

Lmfaooo the same thing happened to me 😂😂except it was a abandoned building downtown.

[@kayl2141]

Omg! I’m happy you guys are ok...I’m really leery of a lot of these jobs on indeed. If it’s not a well known company or a place I’m familiar with, I don’t even apply.

[@gavinarcadipane806]

They have my driver license info I’m screwed ain’t I

[@keyz82]

my friend who’s a bit older just got accepted to what i think is a fake job. she never saw employer, they just communicated through cellphone, told her she’s accepted, offered a large salry and asked for her ssn and other id’s and personal info. if she had talked to me before she gave those information away i would’ve said to her its a scam. whats worse is she never believed when i told her it’s a scam and just went on to quit her job

[@carlosperez9601]

I haven’t even watched the full video. But why indeed let criminal activity on their site??? If they can’t afford to verify the truth then i don’t know maybe the site should be taken down or at every job application on indeed there should a huge sign that says something like warning INDEED DOES NOT CHECK IF THE EMPLOYER IS REAL APPLY AT YOUR ON RISK. Smh I just got scammed and now they have my social on a scam job I applied on indeed

[@haunt7121]

Only apply for ones from well known companies do back ground research before giving any information

[@jaysap.]

i just got scammed today by a job they sent me a $4000 check they said it was for my work supplies and i had to send the money to a "vendor" after i sent the money the check they sent me was returned meaning that the check was voided so now my bank is sitting at -$5,000 i dont even know why its $5000 when the check was only $4,000 what should i do I'm only 19 and im a college student i really needed this job to help myself move out and help my girlfriend

[@Audree_346]

That exact same thing happened to me … was they name Velasquez town?

[@jaysap.]

@@Audree_346 nah

[@cherrylu2733]

Like remote jobs. Asking us to do COVID test. If we want a job

[@cutietae247]

You taking the time to make this video is greatly appreciated.

How does a recruiter get your phone number if you don't tell them?

[@gloryyembe4323]

They have access to your information on LinkedIn

[@eliminate100.]

@@gloryyembe4323 so u mean to say they are HACKER BOI

[@keldonb13]

Ideed itself is a scam.

[@paige6433]

so if you click on job offer and they ask you to work 3 hours a day weekly and want to pay you $1000 weekly. is that a scam?

[@TPR500]

Yes

[@edman813]

Would dislike but you guys disabled that, maybe for very good reason 🤔

[@HMPRODIGY]

Im looking at a Covid Screener position right now for $27.50 per hour no prior experience/qualifications on indeed. Seems to good to be true..

[@sparklingcupcakeps]

thank you for the do not call link !! i applied right away !

[@rosettaiovine7231]

When you retire and you get your Social Security can they mess with your money that you receive every?

[@pristinepersians]

They're still at it. I got off indeed because it was absurd how many frauds they allow on there, now they're emailing me 😂

[@timeisticking9297]

ok. thanks for the tips. but seriously will indeed really stop these scammers. ? shouldn't these jobs/companies be verified through indeed first before their able to post an ad up .? there is no one reason anyone who is seeking for employment to provide for their families and their everyday expense such as rent, food, gas etc only to be scammed in the process it's wrong and really traumatizing for someone these scammers need to be stopped

[@mzubuki]

Love Jesus with all your remembering and imagining.

[@fionagregory9376]

Why is it all American?

[@familyvideos6653]

May I ask you something. Why many of the companies required to fillet it up a WOTC form during the application process. In the same time when you applied for a job, you get emails, where they mention that this form is not mandatory, but if you want to continue with the recruitment process, you have to complete this form. why? I do not understand why? I had to do this after my application process. WOTC ask for our personal information and Social Security number. Is it suppostely the agency or companies need these kind of information when you are hiring, not before hiring you or not during your application process. I want to do an emphasis that my applications were in the real websites of the serious companies. thank you for your answer.

[@stinkywinky8039]

You can opt out of a WOTC

[@deathcorenerd8266]

Indeed paycap talk about is a scam.

[@lifewithbreion1392]

Great vid thank you

[@TS-00]

Main Stream Media has the biggest scam going!

[@entertainmentinfo636]

Indeed asking 1250 rs

[@leahjanulgue7200]

If they are asking resume via email is that okay?

[@ГітаЗахир]

Why?

[@rorscach1]

Shouldn't Indeed be answering your question? It's been a month since you asked.

[@missstaceyarmes]

I get that all the time. They say they are recruiters. This job search has me getting so many spam calls.

[@sarahhhx3]

Those recruiters are scammers.

[@gloryyembe4323]

When ones they receive my resume they started saying the client canceled the job. Don't trust them at all and 80% of those fake recruiters are Indians.

[@michellechen5060]

Is Zetamining a scam?

[@62kgaming69]

U work for them can you send me the sign up link

[@ajbalorio5396]

Can't I ask everybody here who's trying to apply indeed agency legit or fake please answer my questions thank you

[@starkiller1289]

The best you can do is take the employer go to thier website and apply there for whatever position they supposedly have on Indeed.

[@ajbalorio5396]

Thank you because I want to make sure it's legit agency the most of them people using the name of indeed they are many scammer
