What To Do If You’ve Engaged With a Scam

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has specific advice if you are in any of the following situations:

• If you paid a scammer
• If a scammer has your personal information
• If a scammer has access to your computer or phone
• If you want to report a scam

We recommend following the steps that the FTC provides if any of these scenarios apply to you.

If you have received a text, message, or email that appears to be a job scam but you have not responded to the message or clicked any links or attachments within it, you can simply delete the message, report it as spam, and/or block the sender.
