FBI says Employment Scams on the Rise

The Washington Times reports on a slight rise in employment scams. Usually the scams are for easy work to do from home.

The article says a lot of scams are being sent via email and some people are falling victim to them. One woman paid $39.90 to be a computer sales rep, but later found out that the company/job wasn't legit.(Source)

Well, at least the FBI only reports a slight rise of scams. But then I've seen other reports from States and Counties where scams were on the rise in a big way. I guess it all depends on the locations.

I've been reporting on a lot of scams going around lately, but there still are legit work from home jobs around. This website has lots. Check out the work at home jobs section!
