Job scams surge, tricking victims into investing in fake tasks, leading to over $220M in losses.
Job scams are on the rise, with the Federal Trade Commission reporting over $220 million in losses in the first half of 2024.
These scams often start with personalized messages from fake recruiters offering easy online tasks for pay, such as rating images or liking videos.
Victims are eventually asked to deposit their own money, typically in cryptocurrency, to complete more tasks or withdraw their supposed earnings, which are fake.
The FTC warns job seekers to ignore unexpected job offers, avoid paying for jobs, and be wary of roles that involve rating or liking products without a legitimate process.
