Employment scams (where there is *NO* job) include but are not limited to:
1. Victims pay $$$ up front for required crap like uniforms, certification, background check, 1/2 airline ticket, etc.
2. You don't quite qualify for the job but are counseled to go back to school (scammer gets paid on college referral).
3. You are offered an interview and find out later it's a no-salary, commission-only, you-pay-expenses, perhaps-MLM sales job with poor leads.
4. Your job as financial agent is to receive checks, cash them at your own bank, and Western Union cash away (checks will bounce).
5. You give your personal info because you believe you are applying for a real job which can lead to ID theft.
6. You are offered crap like surveys, etc., that's totally unrelated to your job hunt, that the caller will earn $$$ on.
7. You are hired as a trainee only because the scammers are collecting a Fed subsidy. Subsidy received/ends, you gone!
REMEMBER -- THERE IS *NO* JOB, I.E., NO SALARIED POSITION.
