Next in our theme for March – Fraud Awareness Month, we’ll look at fake job listing scams. 👨💼 👩💼 🏛 🏗
Thieves will create fake job listings or send unsolicited job offers in order to lure new victims to their scheme. The “jobs” they’re hiring for are often in the crypto field, including things like crypto mining and recruiting other crypto investors. 💲
Either way, these jobs all have one thing in common — you have to make a payment in crypto to get started. The scam can take on many forms from there. The scammer might convince you to make additional payments, or they’ll make a deposit in your bank account and ask you to send them cash only for their original deposit to fail. 💸 👎
