At parttime.lk, we are committed to creating a safe and trustworthy platform for job seekers and employers. However, online platforms can be targeted by scammers. To help you stay safe, please follow these guidelines when using our site.

1. Recognize Common Scams 1.1. Job Offers That Sound Too Good to Be True: Be cautious of jobs offering high salaries with little effort, as these are often scams. 1.2. Requests for Upfront Payments: Avoid jobs that require you to pay a fee to apply, purchase equipment, or cover training costs before starting. 1.3. Personal Information Requests: Never share sensitive information, such as your bank account details, passwords, or identification numbers, without verifying the legitimacy of the employer. 1.4. Unsolicited Job Offers: Be wary of unsolicited messages from employers who claim to have found your details online.

2. Protect Your Personal Information 2.1. Do not share personal information, such as your home address, full name, or financial details, until you have verified the legitimacy of the employer. 2.2. Use a dedicated email address for job applications to reduce the risk of phishing and spam. 2.3. Be cautious when sharing your phone number or other contact details in public job postings.

3. Verify Employers 3.1. Research the company before applying. Check for a physical address, active social media presence, and legitimate contact information. 3.2. Avoid employers who refuse to share their company details or insist on communication only through unofficial channels.
