Fraud Alert – Apply Shift

Effective Date:  25/11/2025

Your trust is our top priority at Apply Shift. As we prepare to launch, we are committed to building a platform that provides a secure and trustworthy job search experience. To protect yourself from the increasing number of fake job scams, we urge you to be vigilant against fraudulent emails, messages, and calls.

6 signs to identify a fake job offer:

  • Requesting Payment: Asking for any kind of money (often disguised as “refundable” fees or processing charges).

  • Seeking Confidential Data: Pressuring you to share sensitive information like Credit Card details, OTP, Aadhaar, PAN, etc.

  • Poorly Crafted Communication: Job ads or emails containing noticeable spelling mistakes and incorrect grammar.

  • Promising Unrealistic Ease: Offering guaranteed hiring with no proper interview process or an “on-the-spot” offer.

  • Luring with High Salaries: Advertising compensation that seems too good to be true for the role and experience level.

  • Imitating Legitimate Platforms: Using fake domains or email addresses that try to mimic real companies.

4 ways to protect yourself against job frauds:

  • Always Verify First: Never respond to an offer without independently confirming the legitimacy of the company and the job opening.

  • Guard Your Information: Do not share personal, financial, or bank account details with an unverified recruiter.

  • Never Pay for a Job: Legitimate employers will not ask you to pay any fee for a job offer, onboarding, or training.

  • Research the Recruiter: Verify the online presence, website, and reviews of the recruitment firm or individual contacting you.
