The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued warnings regarding a surge in scams related to health insurance and deceptive online job offers. Recent FTC data indicates a dramatic increase in consumer reports about game-like online job scams, which have reportedly cost victims over $220 million in just six months. In contrast, there were no reports of such scams in 2020. The FTC also highlighted concerns about marketing schemes in Medicare Advantage programs, emphasizing the need for consumers to be vigilant against these fraudulent practices. The agency's alerts come amid a broader trend of rising scams that exploit individuals seeking trivial online work, with record numbers of Americans falling victim to these schemes, collectively incurring significant financial losses.
