Job Scam & Fake Recruiter Watch

Track job scams for US job seekers. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: new or surging job scam patterns identified by FTC, FBI IC3, BBB Scam Tracker or state attorneys general with the platform, pitch and loss amounts; impersonation warnings issued by named large employers or recruiters; fake job posting removal and verification changes at LinkedIn, Indeed, ZipRecruiter and Glassdoor; task, reshipping, check, equipment purchase and crypto job scam variants with red flags; FTC and IC3 job fraud loss data; and verification tools or programs launched by platforms or employers. Prefer FTC, FBI, BBB, platform trust and safety, employer and state sources; ignore individual anecdotes without an official source. Put the scam type and platform first in the title. Use high severity for a pattern with over $1 million in reported losses, an impersonation of an employer with over 10,000 applicants, or a scam collecting identity documents. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for how the scam works, the red flags, how to verify a real offer, where to report, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
