Vero Jobs is only useful if the listings on it are real. If something looks wrong, tell us — it takes a minute, and it protects the next person who sees that listing.
What to report
- Any listing that asks you for money. A registration fee, a training fee, a security deposit, a “refundable” charge, a payment for a laptop or a kit. A genuine employer never charges you to be hired.
- Requests for financial details. Bank account credentials, card numbers, UPI PINs, or OTPs. An employer does not need these before you have accepted an offer, and never needs your PIN or OTP at all.
- Requests for original documents — your Aadhaar card, PAN card, passport, or educational certificates — before an offer has been made in writing.
- Fake or misleading listings — roles that do not exist, salaries that do not match reality, a company name used without permission.
- Discriminatory listings — advertisements that exclude candidates on the basis of caste, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, marital status, pregnancy, race, or place of birth.
- Multi-level marketing and commission-only “business opportunities” dressed up as salaried jobs.
- Positions already filled or long expired.
- Offensive, abusive, or unlawful content anywhere on the site.
Warning signs worth knowing
- An offer arrives before any interview.
- The interview happens entirely over a messaging app.
- The email comes from a free address (gmail, outlook) rather than a company domain.
- You are pressured to decide or pay quickly.
- The salary is far above the market rate for the work described.
- You are asked to receive money into your account and forward it on. This is money laundering, and you would be the one committing an offence.
How to report a listing
Email [REPORT EMAIL] with:
- The link to the listing.
- What is wrong with it.
- Any screenshots, emails, or message threads you have.
- Your contact details, if you are happy for us to follow up.
You can report a listing without an account, and you can ask to remain anonymous to the employer.
What happens next
We review every report. Where a listing clearly breaches our Terms of Use we take it down, usually within [NUMBER] working days, and we may suspend the account that posted it. Where a report is less clear-cut we may contact the employer for an explanation before deciding.
We will not tell the employer who reported them.
If you have already lost money
Report a listing to us — but do not stop there. Contact the authorities directly:
- National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal: cybercrime.gov.in
- Cyber Crime Helpline (India): 1930
- Tell your bank immediately. The sooner a fraudulent transfer is reported, the better the chance of recovering it.
Reporting quickly matters more than reporting perfectly. If you are unsure whether something is a scam, send it to us anyway.
