What this page establishes

Scammers can advertise through the same channels used by legitimate employers.

Requests to pay for a job, forward check proceeds, or buy equipment with a supplied check are serious warning signs.

A local pattern checker cannot establish that an employer or opportunity is legitimate.

U.S. Federal Trade Commission job-scam guidance

Practical review sequence

1

Locate the employer website independently.

2

Confirm the posting and recruiter through an official channel.

3

Do not pay or provide sensitive identity or banking data to unlock work.

Check opportunity text locally

Recheck primary sources before acting

Contracts, names, issuers, governance, bridges, providers, networks, fees, and access rules can change. CoinPork provides an operating checklist, not financial, legal, tax, accounting, or cybersecurity advice.
