Laurie Obermeyer is a freelance graphic designer who lost a lot of work during the pandemic and needed something a little more stable. When a construction company contacted her about graphics work, they told her she got the job — but first, she needed to send money for equipment, which sounded a bit strange.After some research, Obermeyer realized it was all a scam to get her money.Obermeyer isn't alone. The Better Business Bureau has issued an alert about similar scams, with so many people now searching for work-from-home jobs that don't require them to report to an office.
"If you are offered a job that involves free shipping things to other places, that's likely a scam job because most companies will ship things themselves," BBB spokeswoman Rebecca Phoenix said."We also see a lot of jobs involving big checks, and those are used in a variety of ways," Phoenix said.
