"New York Attorney General Tish James is addressing text message scams targeting job seekers, resulting in over $2 million in frozen cryptocurrency. Investigators found scammers sent fake job offers to trick victims into purchasing cryptocurrency, which was then stolen. One victim lost over $100,000, lured by promises of flexible jobs and bonuses, only to face hidden fees when withdrawing funds. James urges New Yorkers to report scams and warns against unknown job offers, emphasizing the cruelty of deceiving those seeking work."
