IC3 Issues Alert on Employment Scams



Original release date: January 22, 2020

The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) has issued an alert warning consumers of fake jobs and hiring scams targeting applicants’ personally identifiable information (PII). Cyber criminals posing as legitimate employers spoof company websites and post fake job openings to lure victims. Cyber criminals will conduct fake interviews and even offer positions to victims before requesting PII such as Social Security numbers and bank account information.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) encourages users and administrators to review the IC3 Alert and CISA’s Tips on Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks and Website Security for more information. If you believe you are a victim of cybercrime, file a complaint with IC3 at www.ic3.gov.
