The West Virginia Attorney General's office is investigating
fake job postings online.
Attorney General Patrick Morrisey says
the scammers will post openings on sites like Craigslist.
The job postings appear to be from
legitimate businesses, like the Better Business Bureau, but they're not.
Morrisey says this is a way for
scammers to get your personal information, such as your social security number
or credit card numbers.
"If you're asked to pay a fee
upfront like that, it's usually a scam, so say no and call our office,"
Morrisey said.
Morrisey says it's also important to
meet potential employers in person before agreeing to give out any personal
details.
