They said that there are fake job ads that force victims to commit crypto scams.

It’s been just revealed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has just issued a warning to Americans about fake job advertisements. They said that these are harassing applicants into committing crypto fraud.

According to a new public service announcement from the FBI, false job advertisements linked to labor trafficking compounds in Southeast Asia are using employment fraud schemes to lure people, hold them against their will and intimidate them into committing crypto fraud.

“Criminal actors target victims, primarily in Asia, in employment fraud schemes by posting false job advertisements on social media and online employment sites.

There are various opportunities available under these schemes, including technical support, call center customer service, and beauty salon services.

The FBI also made sure to add the fact that job seekers can expect to receive competitive salaries, attractive benefits, paid travel expenses, and accommodation, as noted by the online publication the Daily Hodl. 

However, it’s important to note that the location for the position may change during the hiring process.

“Upon job seekers’ arrival in the foreign country, criminal actors use multiple means to coerce them to commit cryptocurrency investment schemes, such as confiscation of passports and travel documents, threat of violence, and use of violence.”

To control the victims, the bad actors impose fake debt on them and use the threat of possible jail time. We suggest that you check out the original article posted by the online publication mentioned above.
