Fake profiles are circulating on social media – verify information before taking action
- News
From time to time, social media contains profiles that appear genuine but are not the official accounts of the organisations they claim to represent. Fake profiles may pose as authorities, services, or well-known organisations. Job Market Finland will never ask for your personal information through social media.
The purpose of fake profiles may be, for example, to collect personal data, direct users to fraudulent websites, or spread false information.
Check the profile information carefully before following an account or using any links it provides.
- Carefully check the account name and username.
- Make sure the profile contains the correct website links and contact information.
- Be cautious of private messages requesting personal or banking information. Job Market Finland will never ask for such information through social media.
If you suspect that a profile is fake:
- do not open suspicious links,
- do not share personal information,
- report the profile to the administrators of the social media service in question, and
- always verify information through official channels.
