State news: As summer nears, students are on the lookout for summer jobs. Students are warned to be on the lookout for job scams in Wisconsin. “Students should be on the lookout for ‘get rich quick’ ploys, fake check scams, phony mystery shopper offers, and work-at-home schemes,” Michelle Reinen, DATCP’s director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection said. A current scam features a Google hangout interview for a work-at-home job. The scammer used the name of a real company and claim to have online resumes. After quick acceptance, job-seekers are sent a check or money for supplies and told to deposit it into personal accounts. However, these are fake and the job-seeker will be charged for a fraud check. Students are advised to be careful when finding jobs and make sure they are applying for real jobs. For more information on avoiding scams visit jobcenterofwisconsin.com for a list of cautions.
