Cruise Job Application: How the Scam Works
You are looking for a job on a cruise ship, figuring that if you don't have to pay for living expenses, you'll be able to save some money. You find a position and apply for it; and are contacted a few days later. Excited, you open the email. It says that there are a high number of applicants for the job, but if you want a chance to possibly start right away, you will have to wire them a registration fee and expense charge. If you pay the money, you may not get to go on the cruise but you certainly got taken for a ride.
How to avoid:
Scam Detectors Most Trusted Websites in Online Security
- Guard.io (100): Surf the web safely. Clean up your browser, remove maliscious extensions and check for privacy violations.
- Incogni.com (100): Delete your personal data from the internet and protect against scams and identity theft.
- ExpressVPNÂ (100) Stay secure and anonymous online - Best VPN Out There
This scam can happen for a variety of jobs, but it occurs most often with cruise positions. Simply put, if the company asks you to wire money, it's a good idea to move on and look for something else.
