BRACK: Students must use caution when checking out summer jobs
Finding a summer job is always a top priority for college and high school students. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) of Atlanta and Northeast Georgia is warning consumers of seasonal job scams, which can lead to identity theft. Signs of these scams include fake postings that require little effort for the job or claim to be high paying. By falling for these scams, students can waste time, lose money, as well as be victims of identity theft.
