Week 23: More scam attempts involving fake jobs

Last week, the NCSC saw a rise in reports of fraudulent job offers. Criminals are luring job seekers in with the promise of easy online work, such as product reviews or game testing. These offers can be tempting because they seem to offer easy money and flexible working hours, but the scammers’ real aim is to steal your money or personal information. In some cases, the losses can be substantial: one victim lost almost CHF 80'000 – their entire life savings.
