Spotting a fake job ad before it costs you
Pervia Trust & SafetyAugust 24, 2026 4 min read
Every legitimate employer on Pervia is verified before a role goes live. Elsewhere, you are your own filter.
Money never flows toward the employer No real employer charges for training, equipment, visas, or "processing". If a fee appears at any stage, the process is the product and you are the customer.
Interviews happen on real channels A hiring process conducted entirely over consumer chat apps, with no named interviewer and no company domain email, is not a hiring process.
Offers are not instant A written offer within an hour of first contact, for a role you never described your experience for, is a data-harvesting exercise.
Check the details Company registration number, physical address, and the recruiter's presence on the employer's own site. Two out of three missing means walk away.
If you see a suspicious listing on Pervia, report it — every report is reviewed by a human.
