The Job Scam Report Podcast
Podcast Description
The podcast, “The Job Scam Report,” can only be found here on my Substack and YouTube.
I created "The Job Scam Report" on Substack in May 2024. I started the podcast shortly after realizing its potential to reach many more job seekers trying to conduct a job search without being lured by bad actors. Job scams are a pandemic in the marketplace. The sooner the signs of a scam are recognized, the quicker one must disengage from communication with them.
It should take just one sign to stop, block, and report them. Inform your network and report if you have engaged with a link, PDF, or downloaded a communication from them.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is likely the primary tool in the scammer’s arsenal. Not because it is doing everything for scammers, but their scaling the use of AI is causing constant doubt and fear. Both are the kryptonite for most job seekers entering a bare-bones job market.
Thanks for joining me for this short episode.
In this episode, I continue to discuss briefly two articles:
This article about Alaska came out after this episode was produced, but the report is recent.
Rutgers article warns students to be hyper-aware of job and internship scams. Michigan is also ringing the alarms on campus about awareness.
I also dive into the vigilance about background checks. This article discusses your rights and is a good way to educate yourself.
My advice remains the same: clarify, verify, and don’t just apply.
Stay safe and strategic out there.
