Claim: The Department of Health (DOH) is accepting applications for an administrative assistant job vacancy through a link provided in a Facebook post.
Rating: FALSE
Why we fact-checked this: The Facebook post containing the claim has 40 shares, 53 comments, and 71 reactions as of writing. It was posted in a public Facebook group named “PRC BOARD EXAMINATIONS AND UPDATES” with 303,700 members.
The post claims that the DOH is hiring administrative assistants and instructs interested applicants to fill out and submit a form through a link provided in the caption.
The facts: The link in the post is fake. While the DOH is currently looking for an administrative assistant in its Agusan del Sur office, no online link is provided for the submission of applications.
The supposed registration link redirects to a blogging site, not an official DOH or government website. The blog site mimics a job application form, asking for the applicants’ full name, email address, and phone number. Individuals filling out the fake form may be at risk of having their data stolen, which may be used in phishing scams and identity theft. (READ: Phishing 101: How to spot and avoid phishing)
