Scammers offer fake remote jobs sounding too good to be true, involving simple tasks like rating restaurants; victims are tricked into cryptocurrency payments for non-existent salaries that are never received.
Victims are enticed to join a fake platform to track salary, but need to make a small cryptocurrency payment to 'unlock' it; the platform appears functional, but funds are trapped and non-withdrawable.
FBI advises caution on unsolicited job offers, avoiding link clicks or downloads; warns against sending money to supposed employers or paying for crypto fund recovery services.
Users should not provide financial or personal information to unsolicited job offers, and report any suspicious activity to the FBI IC3; fake job schemes have been widely used by cybercriminals like Lazarus Group.
