Employment scams vary but a common one is to have "applicants" pay up front for application-related stuff like like a background screening, uniforms, 1/2 the airfare to travel to the interview location, etc. The most serious potential long-term loss is the personal data (SSN, birthdate, etc.) that you have to put down on the application because of ID theft.
I just got a text saying I have reviewed your application for the Cleaner position applied for and call 888-272-4814, I tried googling the 866 number but there is no company name etc......I betcha this is a SCAM!!!!!
I just fell for it.. I applied for an HR position and I just recieved a text message saying call back 888-240-0921. The rep wanted to verify my education and finalize a pre-employment screening.
