Employment scams are a growing concern in the job market. Scammers often prey on individuals who are actively seeking work. A significant portion of scam activity targets vulnerable populations.

The surge in remote job demand has created new opportunities for scammers. They are using tactics that mimic long-standing scams, making them difficult to identify. Further information on these scams is available from the Better Business Bureau, which is warning people about the rise in fake remote job offers.
