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 design the fake job to have a confusing compensation structure that requires victims to make cryptocurrency payments in order to earn more money or 'unlock' work, and the payments go directly to the scammer.
To defend against such scam attempts, the FBI advises unemployed Americans looking for a job to be cautious of unsolicited job offer messages and avoid clicking on links, downloading files, or opening attachments in these messages.
