Watch Out For Fake Job Scams

The FTC warns of a surge in online "task job scams" that mimic gambling to hook victims. Scammers offer easy earnings for simple tasks like liking videos but later demand deposits to unlock larger payouts—resulting in stolen money. Losses have skyrocketed, exceeding $220 million in the first half of 2024 alone. Red flags include cryptocurrency payments, buzzwords like "product boosting," and unsolicited messages.
