Job Scams

February 17th, 2010

Many people looking for work are being ripped off by scam artists. These are people who say they’ve got jobs to fill, promise you access to special job listings or interviews, or guarantee to place you in a job. All you have to do is pay them a fee or give them your credit or debit card information. Unfortunately, once you pay, you find out there is no job.

That’s why the Federal Trade Commission has produced Job Scams (also in Spanish), a new video warning job hunters not to pay for the promise of a job. The video tells you how to spot a job scam, and how you can stop them — by reporting them to the FTC.
