flag Illinois BBB warns of AI-powered holiday job scams impersonating major retailers via text.

flag The Illinois Better Business Bureau is warning residents about a holiday job scam where fraudsters impersonate major retailers like Amazon and Target via text messages, using AI-generated language to lure job seekers. flag These messages falsely claim applicants were selected based on their resumes and prompt them to reply "yes" to confirm their phone numbers, a tactic to validate personal information. flag The BBB says legitimate employers don’t require upfront payments, skip interviews, or demand work before hiring. flag Officials stress that offers promising high pay for little effort are likely scams and urge people to verify opportunities through official company websites and avoid sharing personal or financial details without confirmation.
