A new job posting scam found by IT security company Qualysys is focused on capturing victim’s identity details, accessing victim’s Facebook accounts, and committing fraud.


In this new scam, legitimate Facebook advertising is used to post fake work-from-home job ads from several companies. As with most of these scams, victims are directed to a third-party messaging app and are asked to sign a realistic-looking employment contract.
