Employment Fraud

Employment fraud involves deceptive practices related to job opportunities or employment status. This can include false job listings, fake companies recruiting for nonexistent positions, or employers misrepresenting terms of employment for financial gain. It also encompasses identity theft where personal information is stolen under the guise of employment, and scams where individuals are asked to pay upfront fees for training or job placement. Such scams can lead to financial loss, damaged credit, or personal privacy breaches. Recognizing red flags, such as requests for money or vague job details, helps protect individuals from falling victim to employment fraud.
