What do I do if I am the victim of a Work at Home Scam?

 

  • If you have paid in advance for materials, software, or fees and attempts to contact the employer are unsuccessful, contact your bank or credit card company to attempt to stop or reverse charges.
  • If you wired money, contact your bank immediately and request to stop the wire. Advise the bank of your situation.
  • File a report to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) or the FTC
  • If you replied to a posting from CareerBuilder.com, notify Trust and Site Security so that we can take action immediately. Be aware that many emails claim that the company is advertised on Careerbuilder.com; however a great majority of these emails are spoofed, and not derived from the Careerbuilder.com database.
