Before you apply
- A real employer or government job portal does not ask for a deposit, 'security fee' or training fee before an offer.
- Apprenticeship listings on official portals name the employer and training provider. If either is missing, ask before you share documents.
- Free government courses still need you to register on the official site - not through a link sent on WhatsApp or SMS.
Six signs a scheme website is fake
Fake benefit, scholarship and job-scheme sites copy official logos. These signs give them away.
- 1The domain is not a government oneA scheme name, a ministry logo or the national flag on a .com, .org, .in, .co or .online address proves nothing. Read the part right before the first single slash.
- 2You are asked to pay to register or applyApplying for government benefits, scholarships and registrations on the official portal is normally free. Fees for 'processing', 'registration' or 'guaranteed approval' are a classic scam.
- 3You are asked for an OTP, PIN or passwordNo government officer needs your one-time password, UPI or bank PIN. Anyone asking for it is trying to take over an account.
- 4The link came by SMS, WhatsApp or a social media adReal agencies rarely send sign-in links. Type the official address yourself or use this list.
- 5It promises guaranteed money or a deadline todayPressure and certainty are both warning signs. Official schemes publish eligibility rules and dates on their own portal.
- 6It asks you to install an app or APK from a linkOfficial government apps are listed on the official site and in the regular app stores. A side-loaded APK can read your messages and OTPs.
