Confero Consumer Protection Alert – Warning: People are attempting to Defraud Consumers out of Money Using Confero’s Name
August 21, 2015Recently, Confero received information on various scams where consumers receive an email through LinkedIn from someone appearing to be sending along a job opening announcement. The recipients receive these suggestions from persons they know or are connected to on LinkedIn through groups, so they appear to be legitimate.
The LinkedIn profiles of the people sending these messages may have been hacked or they may be fake LinkedIn profiles or some combination. The scams vary, but most include a request for your personal information, including name, address and phone number to “sign up” and the promise of a high paying assignment, for example one which pays $300 shop fee.
The scammers use the names of reputable mystery shopping companies in order to win the trust of victims.
