Millennials and Gen Z’ers are finding themselves to be the latest targets of criminal fraud schemes using fake jobs to steal private information and funds.
One Salt Lake City Gen Z’er said she lost $10,000 after accepting a fake job online.
This woman is an employee with FOX 13 News who wishes to keep her identity private. She said she was looking for a remote, part-time job back in September and came across a posting on LinkedIn that looked legitimate. The fake application and interview process even took a few weeks. She said she had three interviews over the phone with a woman, but nothing over Zoom.
She said she received a four-page offer letter along with W-4 and I-9 forms. She filled it all out, including payment paperwork asking for bank information. Days later, she received a notification that $10,000 was withdrawn from her account.She said she contacted the person who hired her and they admitted to taking her money. Unfortunately, her bank was only able to get half her money back.
