Taking advantage of people's eagerness to find a job to trick job seekers into saving money in various names is one of the most commonly used tricks to defraud companies. Not long ago, Mr. Liu fell into the "trick" of this swindler company.

Mr. Liu graduated from Nanchang Institute of Technology with a junior college degree. Speaking of the experience of being cheated not long ago, Mr. Liu is still angry.

At the end of June this year, Mr. Liu and his classmates came to Shanghai to apply for a job. After months of searching, he and his classmates have never found a satisfactory job, and they are very anxious. One day, Mr. Liu saw a job advertisement saying that a company wanted a "computer operator". It seems that the threshold is not high, and it also specifically States "accommodation". Mr. Liu and his classmates went happily. Upon arrival at the destination, a female "staff member" in charge of reception said that personal information needs to be entered and submitted to 10 yuan. "Fill in the information before you can interview the manager." Without thinking much, Mr. Liu paid the money, got an information form and filled in his personal information.

Later, Mr. Liu and others sat waiting for the interview of the "manager". In the process of waiting, the company's reception telephone has been very busy, and there are quite a lot of telephone calls for application consultation, and the new applicants are also in an endless stream. Everyone, like Miss Liu, handed in 10 yuan to fill in the form and waited for an interview.

It was a long time before it was Mr. Liu's turn to interview. The interviewer, also a woman, hardly asked any questions. She took Mr. Liu's personal data and said, "Your conditions are good, but you can't meet the requirements of the company at present. You must go through training to get on the job. " At the same time, she said, training and exams need to be submitted to 300 yuan first, and once hired, they will be returned to 50 yuan every day, saying that "you can be employed if you pass the exam".

Although Mr. Liu has some doubts, what he said seems to be reasonable after listening to the other party's assurances. Moreover, there were so many people who applied with him that he lost the opportunity if he didn't pay it, so he took out the only 100 yuan in his pocket and gave it to the other party, saying that he would make up for 200 yuan when he came to the training next time. Subsequently, Mr. Liu also signed a written so-called "contract".

On the way back, Mr. Liu and his classmates met two job seekers who also applied for jobs in the company. Everyone talked about their experiences and found that everyone was in the same situation, even the "manager" said the same thing. Both Mr. Liu and his classmates feel bad at this time.

The more I think about it, the more wrong it is. Mr. Liu wants to get back the 100 yuan he paid, so he calls the company to negotiate. The person who answered the phone said, "You agreed. We have signed the contract. If you don't want to do it yourself, it is a breach of contract and the money will not be refunded. " Mr. Liu immediately said that he would complain to the relevant departments, but the other party still refused to refund the money. After several unsuccessful phone calls, the other party actually threatened Mr. Liu: "If you continue to pester, we will come to you at night!"

At this time, Mr. Liu has been applying in Shanghai for several months, and his living expenses are running low. He was cheated and very angry.

Analysis: Liar companies set up "chain sets"

Pay the information fee first, then pay the training fee, and then go to work after training. This is the usual trick of fraud companies. Dismantling the experience of Mr. Liu and his classmates being cheated, it is not difficult to see that the liar company has set an interlocking trap. In order to create a "real" recruitment scene and let job seekers relax their vigilance, it is painstaking to defraud the company.

Trap 1: promise "high salary" and "accommodation"

In the false recruitment advertisements put by fraudulent companies through various channels, without exception, the words "large number of recruiters", "high-paying job seekers", "guaranteed accommodation" and "preferential treatment once hired" are highlighted, while the specific responsibilities and requirements of the position are briefly described, giving people the impression that the recruitment unit seems to have a low threshold, and as long as it can enter, it can easily get a high salary. In particular, some job seekers who came to Shanghai for the first time from other places were eager to find a job because they had not found a suitable job. When they saw similar advertisements, they were very tempted and thought it was a good opportunity, so they rushed over. Unexpectedly, this is the first step to be deceived.

Trap 2: create enough momentum-the company is formal and the competition is fierce.

Because the conditions promised by the fraud company are very favorable and there are many job seekers, what the fraud company has to do next is to create enough momentum. According to Mr. Liu's memory, when I entered this company, I saw a front desk, a beautiful desk and several computers. I feel that this company has a good environment and gives people a sense of formality. In addition, the reception phone kept calling, and new applicants joined from time to time, which naturally formed a competitive atmosphere at the scene. Many people may still be very vigilant at first. As soon as they enter the door, they see that "so many people come to apply, they can't all be fooled", so they relax their vigilance and plunge into the trap.

Trap 3: Make up a "reasonable" reason and put away the small money first.

Cheating companies often start with small money. Receptionists usually put a computer and a stack of personal information forms there. When you used to apply for a job, the receptionist would come up with a form and say, "The company should enter your information in a unified format and print it out. Fill in the information before interviewing the manager. Please pay 10 yuan. " Job seekers think this reason is quite reasonable. Besides, there are not many 10 yuan and 20 yuan, and everyone pays, not one person. This is the beginning of giving.

Trap 4: train or buy products first, and then sign the "contract" after paying the money.

Just like Mr. Liu's experience, the follow-up trick is that a manager-like person says that you have good conditions and the company considers hiring, but you must pass the company's training and pass the exam before you can take up your post; Other companies buy some products first. If you can sell the product within 1 week (or 3 days, etc.). ), which means you passed the test. In order to deceive candidates and avoid disputes, the fraud company will prepare a "contract" in advance and ask candidates to sign it. Once the contract is signed, it is equivalent to approving the training before taking up the post, or buying the product before selling it before taking up the post.

When the applicant discovers that the so-called training exam is a scam, or that the product bought at a high price is worthless and can't be sold at all, the fraud company will come up with a "contract" and announce that the applicant has breached the contract or failed to meet the requirements. Candidates had to swallow their stomachs, and some candidates didn't even know that they were finally trapped, thinking that they were "eliminated".

There are also scams at the job fair.

Job fair is still the traditional job-hunting method favored by most job seekers, but there are also scams. At the peak of job hunting, Shanghai Talent Agency Industry Association received many complaints from job seekers. To sum up, the following two questions are the most concentrated:

First, the job fair is not worthy of the name. For example, the government clearly stipulates that admission to job fairs is free, but there is still a phenomenon of disguised charges in the current job fair market. There are also scenes that are far from the propaganda content of the organizers. For example, at the annual double election meeting of fresh graduates, the recruitment company often writes on the display board: "Applicants must have two years or more work experience." Some companies even directly stated: "Our company does not recruit fresh graduates." This situation is not uncommon.

Second, the name of the enterprise is recruitment, but it is actually a show. Some enterprises regard job fairs as a show to promote corporate image, and the so-called recruitment is only a means of corporate publicity. At some job fairs, some enterprises rented several booths for exquisite layout, and the staff enthusiastically promoted the enterprises and distributed promotional materials. Such a huge momentum naturally attracts many job seekers, but the recruitment information that job seekers are most concerned about is either vague or not mentioned at all. Although many resumes were received, few people actually replied to job seekers after the job fair.

Beware: beware of three typical traps.

The sole purpose of defrauding companies is to cheat money, but the tricks used are different. There are three typical scams:

1, train or sell products first, and then go to work.

Like the experience of Mr. Liu being cheated in the article, some companies tell job seekers that they should be trained first, and they should be certified after passing the training. Job seekers pay training fees, examination fees, certificate fees and other fees. After several days of decent training and exams, they fell into a long wait. After a while, the job seeker calls the company to inquire, and may be told "Sorry, I failed the exam, so I can't work", or the phone can't get through at all, and the company doesn't know where to go. There are also some job seekers who get the so-called qualification certificates, only to find that not only are there no jobs to do, but the certificates are simply forged or abandoned. This kind of fraud company will generally join hands with some training institutions for mutual benefit.

The same is true of products. First, applicants are required to buy a product at a high price. This product has no market at all and cannot be sold. Finally, the applicant was declared unqualified. Like "training first", if the candidate goes back on his word, the company will come up with a signed agreement, claiming that the candidate has breached the contract and will not refund the money.

2. Collect information fees, deposits and employment fees under various pretexts.

Some units take advantage of the weakness of job seekers who don't understand the relevant regulations and charge information fees, data fees, deposits, clothing fees, employment fees, etc. Recruiting in the name of "according to relevant regulations", then making a sum of money and disappearing without a trace. For example, an information fee is charged for applying for registration, and a deposit is paid before taking up the post. The municipal labor inspection department once received such a complaint: a computer distribution company recruited dozens of car drivers, deliverymen and salesmen. On the day of work, these people found the company door locked.

When applying for the job, the hiring manager said that each employee should pay 2,500 yuan of risk of mortgage, because he often sends computers and computer accessories to foreign customers. Because the company looks very formal and powerful, these people undoubtedly paid the money, and the company also issued a receipt and signed an employment contract with them for a period of 1 year. Who knows that when I went to work on the specified date, the company was gone. As determined by the industry and commerce department, this company is not registered at all.

Generally speaking, the fees charged in this name range from tens of yuan to hundreds of yuan. Because the amount is not large, job seekers feel that they have only suffered a little loss after being cheated, so forget it and find a place with an illegal organization.

3. Black intermediaries charge fees in the name of introducing jobs.

There are many people who pretend to be recruiters, and there are many people who pretend to be job agents. There are many black intermediaries and black job agents who charge fees blatantly under the guise of "introducing jobs" and then run away without introducing jobs. Such institutions are often concentrated in the suburbs where foreign job seekers are relatively concentrated. They rented a place temporarily, put a telephone, set some tables and chairs, posted a few "recruitment information" and began to collect money. Fees range from 20-30 yuan to 300-400 yuan. After receiving the fee, applicants are often told to "call for an interview within two weeks". As a result, the candidates had no news at all, and when they went to ask, the building was empty.

Judging from the current investigation by relevant departments, illegal employment agencies often lure job seekers into taking the bait in the name of "direct employment" and "non-intermediary" under the banner of consulting companies, or take seemingly professional means such as "membership system" to defraud job seekers of money and lure job seekers into being cheated. In addition, some illegal organizations may also "partner" with employers to deceive job seekers with false and expired information.

Reminder: Apply for "Two Principles" and "Three Notices"

Shanghai public security department, labor inspection department and personnel department remind job seekers to be vigilant in the process of job hunting. According to the relevant regulations of the state, no unit may charge fees to job seekers in any name during the recruitment process, and all kinds of charging behaviors during the recruitment process are illegal.

The reporter learned in interviews with relevant departments that job seekers, especially new job seekers from other places, should grasp the "two principles" and "three attentions" in job hunting and beware of being deceived.

● "Two Principles"

Principle 1: There is no need to pay any fees during the application process.

However, all recruitment has costs, but it is impossible for a formal company that really recruits people to transfer the cost of recruitment to the applicants, let alone make profits or sell goods through recruitment. Therefore, whenever companies charge fees for job hunting, most of them are "tricky". No matter what the other party's reason is, even if the other party says that invoices and receipts can be issued, job seekers must never pay, and it is best to stop applying.

When applying for a job in a talent agency or employment agency, we should pay special attention to the qualifications of the unit and apply for a job in a formal institution recognized by the labor department or the personnel department. These institutions often "clearly mark the price", the service process is relatively standardized, and formal invoices will be issued after charging fees.

Principle 2: Don't sign casually.

When a recruiter comes up with an agreement or contract that needs to be signed, he must be careful, read the content carefully and consider it carefully. Especially when you encounter a civil agreement in the name of promoting products, never sign it.

● "Three Points for Attention"

Note 1: Investigate the authenticity of recruitment information.

Whether it is newspaper or network information, we should pay attention to the authenticity of recruitment information, especially all kinds of "tofu block" recruitment advertisements posted on telephone poles, walls, books and newspapers, as well as long-term small advertisements.

False job advertisements issued by fraud companies or black job agencies usually have the following characteristics: promising high salary or "accommodation"; The salary is good but the position is not high, the application conditions are not high, and the wording is vague; Recruiting a large number of people, dozens; There is no connection between positions, even irrelevant.

Note 2: Pay attention to the location and business premises of the unit.

Pay special attention to the location of the unit and the situation of the business premises when you go to the unit for an interview or go to an intermediary agency to apply for a job. Regular units have fixed office space. If the interview place is in a temporary rental house or a small hotel, or the venue is very simple, almost "a facade, a phone, several chairs", it is necessary to be extra vigilant.

Note 3: Pay attention to the trace of the staff.

In the process of applying, candidates often feel that the recruiter is superior and afraid of offending the other party, so they dare not ask questions and communicate with the recruiter on an equal footing, which is one of the reasons for being deceived. In the process of job hunting, pay attention to the traces of staff. For example, the so-called "manager" that Mr. Liu met in the above article has no professional quality, and the interview only talks about collecting money. Some people wear big underpants on weekdays, and most of them are problem companies.

Rights Protection: Relevant laws and regulations can not be ignored.

Knowing the relevant laws and regulations is the first step to safeguard one's own rights and interests, and it is also the first compulsory course in the process of job hunting.

● What behaviors are prohibited by employers when recruiting?

1, providing false recruitment information;

2. Recruiting child laborers and people without legal documents;

3. Collect recruitment fees from job seekers;

4. Collect a deposit or mortgage from the hired personnel;

5. Detain the ID card and other documents of the employed personnel;

6. Seek illegitimate interests or engage in other illegal activities in the name of employing people.

7. Refuse to employ or raise the employment standard on the grounds of gender, nationality, race and religious belief (except for jobs and posts that are not suitable for the provisions of the state).

● What regulations should employment agencies abide by in employment activities?

The employment agency shall indicate the legal license, approval certificate, service items, charging standards, the name of the supervision organ and the supervision telephone number; Do not operate beyond the approved business scope, do not provide false information, do not exceed the standard fees, do not introduce job seekers to illegal occupations, do not introduce occupations by violent fraud, do not seek illegitimate interests or engage in other illegal activities in the name of employment introduction.

Generally speaking, formal employment agencies usually have the following characteristics:

1. Hang the original business license and recruitment license in the office;

2. Service items, charging standards, etc. Are clearly marked;

3. Publicize the reporting telephone number of the labor inspection organ;

4. When charging, an invoice supervised by the tax department shall be issued, and the charging items written on the invoice are consistent with the actual service items;

5. Service personnel hold professional qualification certificates.
