8. What does JobStarUSA advise me to do if an employer or company contacts me, offers me a job and then asks me for money to begin the employment, or ask for money for a work visa or plane ticket, or asks me for very personal information?
Immediately report this to us using our contact form. Do not respond to any employer or company that asks you to pay for a job opportunity.

Never give sensitive personal details to any prospective employer (such as your date of birth, home address, social security number, your passport number or driver's license number, or bank account information) until you have established that the employer or company is legitimate.
