Employment
October 21, 2007
Some job offers for supposedly foreign employment opportunities ask for an advance fee to cover visa and travel costs. They may ask for your social security number, credit card numbers and bank account numbers. Legitimate companies will absorb the costs of hiring you and would never ask for your credit card numbers or bank account numbers. There is an employment scam that asks you to be an agent for the bogus company. They ask you to cash checks and money orders for clients through your own bank account and you will be paid a percentage for doing so. The checks and money orders are bogus and you may end up paying thousands of dollars back to your bank.
