In the latest episode of Scam DamNation, Ms. Cauldwell explains how job seekers can avoid scams during the application process or when accepting a job through a fraudulent interview. According to Axios, in 2023, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) reported approximately 105,000 'business and job opportunity' scams, with victims losing an estimated $450 million. This represents a significant increase over the past five years, largely attributed to the growth of remote work and advancements in AI technology.
As reported by Indeed, fake job listings often appear on social media and legitimate job sites, requesting candidates to pay a fee to apply or start working.
