FBI: Scammers Defraud Individuals via Work-From-Home Scams
The FBI is warning of scammers offering victims fake work-from-home jobs, typically involving a relatively simple task, such as rating restaurants or "optimizing" a service by repeatedly clicking a button. The scammers pose as a legitimate business, such as a staffing or recruiting agency,and may contact victims via an unsolicited call or message.
"Scammers direct victims to a fake interface, which shows victims are earning money, though none of it is available to them to cash out."
