The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has reported a dramatic increase in gamified job scams, with complaints quadrupling yearly to 20,000 reports in 2023.
These scams typically involve fake online tasks that promise high returns but ultimately lead to losses as victims are coerced into 'charging up' their accounts.
Scammers often use platforms like text messages or WhatsApp to reach potential victims, baiting them with allure of cryptocurrency and fake testimonials.
The FTC advises to ignore unknown job offers and never pay upfront for the promise of future earnings, emphasizing legality and honesty in job offers.
