On the heels of another Zelle scam hitting a big bank last week, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued a consumer alert advising the public to beware of scammers impersonating well-known companies, focusing this time on those recruiting for fake jobs on LinkedIn and other job platforms.
“Scammers are lurking on LinkedIn and other job sites, posing as 'recruiters' for well-known companies. But instead of looking to hire you, they’re really looking to take your money and personal information,” Larissa Bungo, FTC senior attorney, said in the alert.
