Stay safe
TALJobs is free. We will never ask you for money.
Job scams often target students looking for their first break. Here's how to spot them — and what to do if someone contacts you.
🚩 Red flags
They ask you to pay
Registration, training, “security deposit”, laptop, visa or document fees. Real employers don't charge you to get hired.
They want your sign-in code or OTP
No real recruiter or TALJobs staff member will ever ask for it. Anyone who does is trying to take over your account.
Bank or ID details too early
Card numbers, CVV, UPI PIN, bank logins, Aadhaar, PAN or SSN — before any real interview or written offer.
Offer without an interview
“You're selected!” for a role you never interviewed for, often with an unusually high salary.
Chat-only hiring
Interviews only on WhatsApp or Telegram, from personal numbers, with pressure to “decide today”.
Odd email addresses
Free email accounts or look-alike domains (like taljobs-hr@gmail.com) instead of the company's real domain.
✅ Protect yourself
- Look up the company yourself — its real website, address and reviews.
- Check the sender's email domain matches the company.
- Get any offer in writing before sharing documents.
- Talk it over with a parent, teacher or your college placement cell if unsure.
📨 How TALJobs contacts you
- Sign-in codes by email or SMS — only when you ask for one.
- Support emails from support@touchalife.org.
- We never ask for your code, passwords, bank details or any payment.
