These imposter advertisements sometimes contain contact information for interested applicants that are different from an employer's career website or company email address.  Such imposter job advertisements typically include promises of high-paying jobs with the requirement that job seekers first send sensitive personal information or money to pay for things such as visa applications or processing fees.
