Warning: It's a scam!! Towards understanding the Employment Scams using Knowledge Graphs.

Employment scams, such as scapegoat positions, clickbait and non-existing jobs, etc., are among the top five scams registered over online platforms.1 Generally, scam complaints contain heterogeneous information (money, location, employment type, organization, email, and phone number), which can provide critical insights for appropriate interventions to avoid scams. Despite substantial efforts to analyze employment scams, integrating relevant scam-related information in structured form remains unexplored. In this work, we extract this information and construct a large-scale Employment Scam Knowledge Graph consisting of 0.1M entities and 0.2M relationships. Our findings include discovering different modes of employment scams, entities, and relationships among entities to alert job seekers. We plan to extend this work by utilizing a knowledge graph to identify and avoid potential scams in the future.
