Spot a job scam
Real employers don’t charge you to give you a job. If anything below sounds familiar, stop and check.
The golden rule: never pay to get a job — not for an “application fee”, “processing”, “uniform”, “training” or “visa”. Rolegrove never charges job seekers to search, save or apply.
Warning signs
- It asks for money — fees, deposits, “refundable” payments, buying gift cards or sending mobile credit.
- Overseas offers for work you never applied for, especially with “guaranteed” visas or jobs.
- Chat-only recruiters. The “interview” happens entirely on WhatsApp or text, with no company email, address or website you can check.
- Asks for bank details, your passport or ID photos before any offer. (Employers need your TRN and NIS number once you’re hired — not to apply.)
- Pay that is too good to be true, or pressure to “reply today”.
- Personal email addresses (Gmail, Yahoo…) for a large company, or a name that is almost — but not quite — a real company.
Checks before you apply
- Look for the Verified employer badge — it means Rolegrove checked the business.
- Source-linked means we found the ad elsewhere and linked to it. We say who the source is, and we haven’t necessarily verified the employer.
- Check “Last confirmed active”. If we couldn’t confirm a job is still open, the page says so.
- Search for the company’s own website and call a number you found yourself.
If something feels wrong
- Stop. Don’t send money, codes or documents.
- Report the listing — you’ll get a reference number and the employer is never told who reported.
- If you already paid or shared bank details, contact your bank straight away, and report it to the police (Jamaica Constabulary Force).
- Tell friends and family who might see the same offer.
