Incidences of job scams skyrocketed 118% in 2023 compared with a year earlier, according to a new report from the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC). And they're looking more real than ever, thanks to artificial intelligence which has allowed criminals to create job postings that appear more legitimate, and target greater numbers of victims, according to Eva Velasquez President and CEO of ITRC.
"They are putting together information to make postings look much more sophisticated," Velasquez told CBS MoneyWatch.
