Job Scam Incident Report
Document a fraudulent job offer properly — before the posting disappears and the evidence goes with it.
Job scams move fast, and so do the scammers
Postings get deleted, accounts get suspended, and "recruiters" disappear the moment you ask the wrong question. This template gives you one place to capture everything before it's gone: recruiter and company details, every payment request (even ones you didn't pay), and a checklist of exactly what evidence to screenshot and save. It's built to feed directly into a report to the FTC or the FBI's IC3, or to the job platform where the posting appeared.
- Structured for exactly what the FTC and IC3 ask for
- Payment request log — valuable evidence even if you never paid
- Evidence checklist so nothing gets lost before you report it
- Instant download, editable PDF/Word
