NBC News - At first, the job seekers didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary: One spotted a post on ZipRecruiter, another submitted an application on LinkedIn, and a third got an email from a recruiter about a high-level position. But there were no employers on the other end.
Instead, these listings were driven by increasingly innovative scammers using complex schemes to lure job seekers into a range of financial traps as a growing number of Americans struggle to find work. The job postings are nearly indistinguishable from legitimate listings, some appearing on trusted websites, or coming from spoofed or hacked email addresses of recruiters, according to interviews with more than 20 job seekers, cybersecurity experts and executives of hiring websites.
