CHICAGO (WLS) — Looking for a holiday job? Watch out!
Scammers are targeting seasonal job seekers with fake offers designed to steal your money and identity.
The Better Business Bureau says employment scam reports more than doubled in 2025.
Watch out if you’re offered a job you never applied for, or if the pay sounds too good to be true.
Never accept a job if you are asked to pay money to unlock your earnings.
Verify the job on the company’s official website, and never share sensitive information until you’ve confirmed the offer is real.
