Documents before details
A person says you are shortlisted but asks for your ID number, proof of address, bank details, and a selfie with your ID before sharing the employer name or interview details.
What to check
- Ask why each document is needed at this stage and who will receive it.
- Check the employer, recruiter, vacancy, and application process through a separate official channel.
- Be careful if documents are requested through a personal chat, unknown form, or link that does not match the organisation.
- Never share OTPs, banking passwords, card PINs, or app login details for a job application.
Recommended next steps
- Share only the minimum information needed after you have checked the process.
- Do not send a selfie with ID or banking details through an unknown chat or form.
- If your ID was already misused, keep proof and consider identity-protection support.
Official sources
Use these as starting points, then check important details through channels you find yourself.
