Abstract

The present era focuses on every aspect of modern civilization that can be handled online, such as internet banking, teaching, safety, and employment, etc. This advancement in technology makes it easy for scammers to make money very quickly by looting people. Fake job advertisements are among the latest scams. When people apply for these fake jobs, they have topay fees and send their personal information to the fraudsters, which results in a scam and losing money. Therefore, in this paper, we have proposed a novel Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) to identify fake job postings efficiently. A publicly available dataset named EMSCAD was used to validate our proposed model. A comparison was also made between our proposed model and several state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms. In our experiments, we found that our proposed model had a greater accuracy than other machine learning algorithms. In addition, this study conducts a critical comparison of our method with the most recent existing studies.
