SCAM ALERT!

The NJ Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell (NJCCIC) just flagged an increase in job-related SMS phishing (SmiShing) scams that target folks looking for work.

These scammers often create a sense of urgency, pushing offers that seem "too good to be true," like making your own hours, getting paid daily, and doing just a little work. Sometimes they’ll also suggest shifting to chat apps like WhatsApp or Telegram. Just so you know, legit employers and recruiters usually won’t ask you to communicate or send info through these kinds of chat platforms.

To keep from falling for these scams, always double-check any job offer by reaching out to the company’s HR department directly using official contact info. It’s also a good idea to go straight to the company's website by typing the URL into your browser (AND NOT by clicking on the link) to make sure it’s legit.

If you do fall for one, report the scam directly to the employer or the job board where you found the listing.
