Job scams are climbing. Experts say to watch out for these red flags
Briefly

"We've really seen tremendous growth in job scams. I think that's just due to the fact that we fundamentally changed the way we recruit and hire people."
"After a weeklong process that included an online form with interview screening questions, Islam was offered the job and received a check. She was asked to deposit it and send the company $1,000 to pay for shipment of equipment she'd need for the job."
"I'm a little traumatized," said Islam, who lost the $1,000 and unknowingly shared personal information with scammers.
"Scammers tend to use the name of an employee from a large company and craft a job posting that matches similar positions. An initial red flag is that scammers usually try to make the job very appealing."
