Scammer posting fake job ads on craigslist:
"Worker Needed!!!
compensation: Negotiable/ Mode of payment that is acceptable by you
employment type: employee's choice
Manager needs someone who wants to work from his/her home as an assistant manager. Text 551-333-7097 for more details.."
The 'work from home' scam is usually the check over payment scam. You will be sent a check for deposit. In 2-3 days it appears to clear. You are usually asked to buy/ship items, or to use a cash wire transfer service to send money to someone/for some reason. In 4-6 weeks the check bounces. The other is where you are asked to give your banking details. Problem? With a bank account money can go both ways, out as well as in. The rest you can figure out.
Work From Home: These scams have been running for decades, and still people fall for them. They are the same as if you saw a sign on the side of the road: Hiring Now. (Phone number) $1000 to $2000 a week. -- They are the same as those rackets that lure college-age people in to go out and sell magazine subscriptions, to earn money towards college tuition. -- You cannot warn people enough!!!!!!
