How iince keeps you safe
Remote work attracts scammers, because people expect to be hired without meeting anyone in person. Here is what iince will and will not do, how we check every job, and how to spot a fake offer, on iince or anywhere else.
What we promise
Free for job seekers, always
Applying, being reviewed and being introduced cost you nothing. Employers pay us when they hire someone we introduced. We will never ask you for a fee, or to pay for training, equipment, software or a background check.
No bank details, ID or payment before a real offer
We never ask for your bank account or card details, your Social Security number, ID documents or any payment. A real employer asks for payroll and tax details only after you have a job offer in writing.
All contact goes through iince until you are introduced
Before an introduction, every message about your application comes from iince by email, from an address ending in @iince.com, and your status is always on your private tracking page. Employers do not contact you before that. When we introduce you, we tell you by email first, and then the employer gets in touch.
How we check every job before it goes live
A person at iince checks every listing before it is published. We do not copy jobs from other websites.
A verified employer
We talk to the company directly and confirm who they are before we publish anything. Their name is kept off the listing at their request, but we know exactly who they are, and you learn their name before any interview.
A real, open role
The job has to exist and be open now, with real work, a real schedule and a person who reviews applicants. Jobs come down as soon as they are filled or closed, and every listing ends by itself after a few weeks unless the employer confirms it is still open.
Pay stated up front
Every listing shows the pay in US dollars before you apply, so you know what the work is worth before you spend time on it.
Common remote-job scams and how to spot them
These scams turn up on job sites, on social media and in text messages. If you notice any of these signs, stop and talk to us before you reply.
Fees for training, equipment or software
You are “hired” quickly, then asked to pay for training, a starter kit, software or a background check, or to buy equipment from a supplier they choose. Real employers pay for what you need to do the job. You never pay to work.
Fake checks and overpayments
You receive a check or a transfer, often “for equipment”, and are asked to send part of it back or on to someone else. Days later the check bounces, and the money you sent is gone. Never forward money for an employer.
Interviews only by chat app, with no real company
The whole “interview” happens by text on Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal or a similar app. There is no video call, no company email address, and nobody can tell you the company’s name. On iince, you always learn the company’s name before any interview.
Pay that is too good to be true
Forty dollars an hour for simple data entry, or hundreds of dollars a day for liking posts or rating products. Some of these “task” jobs later ask you to deposit money to unlock your earnings. Unusually high pay for easy work is the bait.
Requests for your personal data
Someone asks for your Social Security number, your bank login, a photo of your ID or a selfie holding it before you have a real written offer, often “for payroll” or “for a background check”. That is enough to steal your identity or open accounts in your name.
What to do if something feels wrong
- 1Stop. Do not send money, codes, documents or personal details.
- 2Keep the evidence: screenshots of the messages, and the email addresses, phone numbers and payment details they used.
- 3Tell us at hello@iince.com which job it is about and what happened. A person reads every report, and we can take a listing down while we look into it.
- 4If you have lost money, call your bank right away and report it to the police. In the US you can also report it to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
A person reads every report. We never ask you to pay, so anyone asking you for money in our name is not iince.
