Info on local scam
We have become aware of a local scam involving job postings. Jobs are being posted for a local company using a local address, but the phone number isn’t local.
If you see local job postings and they request via email for you to cash checks for them and then to send the money back to them, it is bogus and a scam, as the checks are fake. If the email says “.org” or “.gov” at the end, it is not a company.
If you have come across anything like this while job hunting, please contact your local police department with the particulars, and never cash checks, give out your Social Security number, or other identifying information.
