Job scams are on the rise. Watch out for these red flags
KCRA 3
The strong labor market has given us near-record low unemployment, higher wages -- and an unfortunate uptick in the number of reports of job seekers getting scammed.
"We are definitely seeing job scams," said Rhonda Perkins, attorney and chief of staff of the Federal Trade Commission's division of marketing practices. In 2021, the agency received more than twice the number of job scam reports than in 2020, Perkins said. And in the first quarter of this year, there's been more than 16,000 complaints filed.
