Employment scams are on the rise and criminals are using artificial intelligence to steel personal information and money from unsuspecting job seekers. According to the Federal Trade Commission, job scams are up 118-percent from a year ago. Thieves post fake job listings on reputable websites like LinkedIn to lure applicants, they then steal valuable information during the “interview” process. The main danger is divulging personal information like Social Security numbers, driver licenses or bank account details. Consumers reported losing over 300-million-dollars to job scams in 2022. Experts say to be wary of something that sounds too good to be true and remember only limited personal information is required during an application process.
