Email scams pose as urgent messages from real organizations, and con recipients into revealing sensitive personal information.

Laundering scams ask you to forward criminally-obtained money or goods. These scammers use job boards to seek out new targets.

Phony employers sometimes invite job seekers to interview over chat, as a ruse for learning the applicant’s personal data.

Work from home jobs promise top salaries for minimal work. Sound too good to be true? These jobs usually are.

A drop in your credit score or unusual charges to your bank account may be signals that your identity has been stolen.
