Washington BBB: Beware of fake job offers, phony messaging downloads
Did an offer for your dream job just drop into your inbox?
It sounds like good news, but if you did not formally apply for the position yourself, this is a red flag that could be part of a scam, according to the Better Business Bureau of Washington (BBB).
BBB reports that an estimated 14 million people are exposed to employment scams every year, with $2 billion in direct losses annually.
Logan Hickle, the BBB's PR and communications manager said people could unexpectedly receive a message from someone interested in hiring them. It might come through email, text, or even a social media platform.
