A scam alert from the Better Business Bureau…
A study finds that employment scams were the top riskiest scam in both 2018 and 2019.
65 percent of consumers reported that their “job offer” was related to becoming a “warehouse redistribution coordinator” or some similar titles involving the ‘reshipment of packages’.
