Criminals are using the pandemic and hot job market to scam people out of money and their financial information.
The biggest way scammers try to defraud victims is by posing as part of a staffing or temp agency, then requiring job-seekers pay them a fee before they can get matched with a hiring manager for interviews.
The goods are usually high-priced items like electronics, and they're bought using stolen credit cards. People who get into re-shipping scams report not being paid. "We can't say this enough: If a scammer sends you a check and asks you to deposit it, but has some reason for why you need to send money back to them, don't do it," Perkins says.Employment scams have only gotten more sophisticated, so it's important to be vigilant as a job-seeker.
