Job Ads Could Be Scams

Scammers are out in force trying to get your personal information or set people up in "jobs" which are money laundering schemes or dealing in stolen goods. Here's a link to a recent report from 7 News in Denver: http://www.thedenverchannel.com/video/18806204/

Bottom line: be careful out there. Don't give too much personal information on job applications. There is no reason a company needs your Social Security number before you are hired. If the job seems too good to be true, it probably is. No real company pays hundreds of dollars a week for a "few hours" of work re-shipping packages or doing "data entry." And no legit company sends you money orders, has you cash them and wire back a portion of the funds.

Best case scenario, your identity gets stolen. Worst case, you end up in jail for fraud or money laundering. Be careful out there!
