Google Warns Users of AI-Driven Scams Targeting Job Seekers and Businesses
Google has warned of a sharp rise in AI-powered scams targeting job seekers and businesses. Fraudsters are using generative AI to create fake job listings, cloned company pages, and deceptive apps that appear genuine. Scams include fake recruiter profiles, review extortion, and counterfeit AI or VPN apps that steal data or money. Google advises users to stay cautious during the holiday season, verify websites and job offers, and rely only on official sources, as it strengthens its AI-based security measures.
