(From KGCS) Work from home! Make your own schedule! Big pay! These job-related ad lines are alluring but often come to your phone or email unsolicited and are often a scam. This week on Newsmakers we learn how to spot risky employment opportunities and ways scammers will try to con you out of money.
Better Business Bureau Regional Director Pamela Hernandez explains a resume formatting scam, how AI is making some scams harder to spot, and shares why young adults are targeted most. Hernandez discusses common tactics of scam artists that can include fake pay or reimbursement checks for purchases made on a home office. Plus, she has the latest Scam Tracker Report data.
