Job scams usually begin with scammers posting fake job listings on job boards, social media, or company websites. They collect personal information from applicants or charge fees for non-existent job opportunities.
Victims may be asked to perform tasks as part of the role, like receiving funds into their account and passing them on to another bank account. The scammer may use professional-sounding language to appear legitimate, however the funds being received are often proceeds of another scam and the victim is being used to mask their fraudulent origin.
