FAKE JOB SCAMS

When Hope Becomes a Trap

Marcus was laid off after 12 years. He applied to hundreds of jobs. Then “TechCorp Solutions” offered him a remote position—$65,000 salary, benefits, start immediately.

They just needed $400 for “equipment and onboarding software.”

Marcus paid. The job didn’t exist. His bank account information was stolen.

He lost money while trying to earn it.

The Reality

Millions of desperate job seekers are targeted by fake employment scams every year.

People pay for “training” that never leads to work. They give identity information to criminals. They lose money instead of earning it.

Job market desperation makes people vulnerable. When you need income, you want to believe the offer is real.

Scammers know exactly when to strike: After layoffs. During economic downturns. When people are desperate.

These aren’t just financial losses. They’re destroyed hope when people can least afford it.

Why It Works

Fake job scams look professional. Real company names. Polished websites. Official-sounding emails.

They offer exactly what desperate people need: Good pay. Remote work. Immediate start. No complicated interview process.

By the time victims realize it’s fake, they’ve already paid fees, shared personal information, and sometimes worked for free.

The psychology is simple: People need jobs. Scammers exploit that need.

What We’re Doing

We investigate fake job operations and create education that protects job seekers before they lose money or identity.

Investigation: We expose how fake job scams work, what red flags employers miss, and why these scams are so convincing.

Education: We create guides showing the difference between real job offers and sophisticated fakes.

Reach: We run campaigns targeting job seekers with protective education—before they send money or information.

Prevention: A job seeker who learns the warning signs will recognize the fake offer. The scam won’t work.
