Umemployment is hard enough, but add in the factor that some people out there are posting bogus jobs, and you have added stress if you are running out of savings, and have bills piling up.  It’s false hope, and people who are given false hope are easily discouraged.

Not me.  I have turned looking for a full time job, into a full time job.

Recently I was involved in a job scam that I recognized as a scam, and reported it to the FBI, Better Business Bureau, and also the Internet Crimes Unit.  Because I had a lot of documentation, and kept all of my email logs and chat sessions with this “bogus employer” who wanted to scam me out of money to “work” for them, I ended up on the news.

Special thanks to WDRB Fox 41 News for their coverage of my story, which you can read about HERE (.pdf) and click on the video below to watch the news story!

For those of you out there looking for employment, please don’t give up – keep going – but be wary for anything that sounds “too good to be true.”
