At Jora, your safety is our priority. Scammers sometimes try to impersonate legitimate companies, including job platforms, to trick jobseekers. Here’s how to stay safe while using Jora.
1. What kinds of scams should you watch out for?
- Fake job offers promising high pay for little work
- Messages or links claiming your resume was 'recommended'
- Scammers posing as Jora or a hiring manager
- Unsolicited outreach via WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, etc.
- Ads mimicking Jora branding to lure you to fraudulent sites
- Requests for personal or financial information early in the process
2. What we never do
- We will never contact you via WhatsApp, Instagram, or social media to offer a job
- We will not ask for sensitive personal or financial details (like your bank account, password, or identity documents) via unsolicited messages
3. What to do if you think you’ve been scammed
- Stop responding immediately
- Block the sender
- Contact your bank or financial institution if you’ve shared account info
- Monitor your online accounts carefully
- Report the incident to authorities (e.g. via Scamwatch in Australia)
- Contact us at support@jora.com — we can help you check whether any communication was valid
