Looking for a job? Scammers targeting popular job websites [Video]

TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) – Scammers advertise “job openings” the same way honest employers do.

The criminals promise you a job, but what they want is your money and your personal information according to the FTC.

So many people unfortunately lose money to scams.”
