Verify the Company's Legitimacy • Research the Employer: Look up the company online and verify their contact information on the official website. • Cross Check Email Domains: Legitimate companies use official email domains. Be wary of offers from generic email services or variations of the company’s actual domain (e.g., at LeadStack our actual email domain is leadstackinc.com; any variations like @leadstack-inc.com is a scam ). 2. Be Wary of Any Solicitation of Payments • Financial Details: Do not share bank details etc during the initial stages of the hiring process. • Upfront Payments: A legitimate employer will never ask you to pay for training, background checks, or any other job-related fees. 3.
