Ugh! I hate the scams and spam job postings. All we can do is use our best judgement to discern what's true.
Stay the course though! Don't let that deter you from finding your next great opportunity.
Unsure where you're looking or where you posted info, but it might be good to report these things (if you can). A lot of companies have warning notices on their website about fake recruiters or unauthorized companies/people posing as them. If you come across something fishy, reach out to the companies and let them know. They usually have an email that you can report to.
Or, if you're unsure if it's a legit post, you can usually email the company to find out if their working with this recruitment firm or not.
My recommendation would be to apply directly on these sites going forward. Third-party job boards can be hit or miss. Also, LinkedIn is tends to be pretty decent place to vet jobs/recruiters too.
Trust your gut though! Keep going because you've got this!!
