State consumer protection officials say there’s a second wave of scams being pulled off in connection with the Gulf Coast oil spill. The first dealt with bogus donations. Now, bureau administrator Janet Jenkins says false job ads are being posted in newspapers and on-line. Their goal is to get people to pay for training and certifications for jobs that are promised, but don’t really exist. Jenkins says they’re especially going after young adults who are inexperienced about getting a job, and are more willing to take anything because of the troubled economy. First of all, Jenkins says no legitimate company guarantees anyone a job without checking things like experience and references. And she says real employers don’t ask for money or personal information up-front – something which Jenkins says can lead to identity theft. It has apparently gotten so bad that scam artists are posing as B-P officials – and when there’s doubt, Jenkins says to call the firm’s human resources department to see if the job posting really exists. If you’re looking for a real job with the Gulf Coast Response Team, she suggests calling Deepwater Horizon’s toll-free number. That’s 866-448-5816.
