1. NEVER Pay for a Job

Legitimate companies and consultancies like Jobs Pedia will NEVER ask for money for "registration," "training," or "laptop security." If they ask for money, it's a scam.

2. Check Email Domains

Official interview invites come from company-owned domains (e.g., @tcs.com or @infosys.com). Be wary of emails from @gmail.com or @yahoo.com claiming to represent large firms.

3. Verify the Office

Always cross-check the interview location on Google Maps. Scammers often use fake "branch offices" in residential areas. Stick to known tech parks and business districts.

4. Personal Information

Don't share sensitive OTPs or bank details during the interview process. Documents like Aadhar should only be shared with verified recruiters at the time of documentation.
