Sue McConnell, president of the Cleveland BBB, showed News 5 her agency's latest reportconfirming job scams have skyrocketed by more than 250% in the first part of 2023 compared to last year at this time. McConnell reported some Ohio job seekers were left without thousands of dollars in paychecks from companies that claimed to be headquartered here in northeast Ohio.
McConnell urged job seekers to run background checks and check reviews on companies before taking a job or accepting a job interview. McConnell also said to be cautious about providing personal information to unverified recruiters and online applications you don't remember applying for. McConnell warned not to pay for a job, initial on-the-job onboarding/training, or work for a"free trial period."
