How do I avoid AI training job scams in Australia?

Apply through the platform itself: every role here opens the hiring platform's own listing. Genuine platforms do not charge you to apply or to get an account, and buying or renting someone else's account breaks platform rules and can get it removed. To check a message really comes from a platform, see the real web and email addresses each one uses: RemoExperts, Babel Audio, Alignerr, DataAnnotation and Fleet AI. The US Federal Trade Commission warned in April 2026 that an unexpected job offer by text is probably a scam.
