In UAE, there are a lot of cases I have seen, where we receive many emails which are fake. Once I moved here in Dubai, I also faced this situation. I visited many companies physically. I received many fake emails and went there as I was new and there was no guide for me. I will share my personal experience and share tips how you can avoid fake interviews emails. In this complete guide I will cover it all and explain how to check fake job email.
What Make the Email Fake?
There are many ways you can check whether email is original or fake. Most of the fake recruiters use auto-generated messages and send. You have LinkedIn profiles, social media profiles, and they get your information from there. Here are some ways which makes an email fake.
· General Greetings like “Dear Applicant” instead of using your name.
· Job title, Company name or job reference number is not mentioned in the email
· HR name, designation and number not mentioned in the email
· Suspicious links in the email like “Book Your Appointment Today” or “Schedule your interview today”.
· Claiming online interview without prior screening physically
· Domain name must be fake or organization name not match in the email
· Overall it will feel like it is robotic and its true because its auto generated and send to many candidates at the same time
· Using red color links in the email.
These are some of the common red flags which scammers use to get candidates and loot them.
Common Signs of Fake Job Emails You Should Know
· Not mentioning your full name
· Not mentioning job role you applied for
· Contain red color suspicious clickable links
· Using free email domains like google, yahoo, Hotmail etc but not company domain
· Ask for fees, documents verification checkups and charges
· Create urgency like they will mention we need urgently to catch candidate
· Promising guaranteed job, offer letter and visa processing on the spot
If you feel something like this be aware of it. You are going to attend the fake job.
How to Verify a Job Email in the UAE?
You can verify job email in many ways in the UAE.
· Email will come from company name
· Your full name, job role and reference number will be mentioned there
· Jobs description, responsibilities will be there
· HR name, designation, number will be there.
· No red color links or urgency status
Most of the original companies in the UAE, will call you first. They will do a checkup like formal interview on the call. Send you location, timing, job details, salary details on the call. So if you receive a call for an interview than also check company is valid or not.
How to check company is valid or not?
This is the most important step before going for an interview. Check company details before proceeding.
· Check company on google
· See ratings and reviews
· Check how many people working there already
· Check email will be business mentioning company name at the end
· Check Facebook page and profiles and read people reviews.
· Check LinkedIn profile if exists and connect with people who are already working there
By following the above mentioned steps you can easily verify company status.
Common Examples of Emails Which look like Fake
I am attaching a screenshot below so new comer can understand it better. If you receive any kind of this email, than its fake. You can simply validate the company details by following the above mentioned steps. Here is how fake email look like.
Always Remember These Points
· Genuine companies always mention HR name, Title, Job Title, And application Details
· No professional HR asks for payments for the job because its illegal in the UAE

If some employer or HR asks you money for visa processing or job than immediately leave. To hire an employee all responsibilities are done by Employer. So be aware of such fake agents and don’t pay any money to anyone.
