>>> TONIGHT WE'RE EXPOSING A DANGEROUS NEW FRONTIER. THE ONLINE JOB HUNT. RIGHT NOW PLENTY OF PEOPLE ARE JOB HUNTING. >> SOME SLICK I.D. THIEVES ARE TRICKING PEOPLE. OUR CONSUMER INVESTIGATOR HAS A WARNING FOR ALL WORKERS, ESPECIALLY TECH WORKERS. CHRIS? >> HIRING HOAXES ARE EXPLODING. JOBS LISTINGS POST REAL DANGERS. TONIGHT WE ARE SHARING A SAN FRANCISCO MAN'S BOGUS RECRUITER. WE WANT TO HELP YOU JUST BEFORE THEY STEAL YOUR IDENTITY. >> IF I HAD SIGNED OFF ON EVERYTHING, MY LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN RUINED. >> Reporter: HE WAS HUNTING FOR A NEW JOB AND UNLT PRESSURE TO QUICKLY GRAB WHAT HE COULD. >> BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENED, WAS HAPPENING OVER THE COURSE OF THE FEW MONTHS BEFORE WITH THE LAYOFFS AND THE SHAKE-UPS IN THE TECH WORLD. >> Reporter: ON A JOB WORLD, HE SPOTTED A REMOTE JOB. HE APPLIED, DID AN INTERVIEW BY TEXT ON A MESSAGING WEBSITE. AND THEN THE RECRUITER SAID I-SOLVED WAS HIRING HIM. HE HAD SHARED SOME PERSONAL INFO ON HIS APPLICATION. NOW THEY WANTED MORE. HIS BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER FOR A DIRECT DEPOSIT AND A COMPANY OF HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE.

THAT MEANS HIGHER RISK FOR TECH WORKERS. >> I WOULD SAY DO YOUR HOMEWORK. >> Reporter: SHE IS WITH THE HR ASSOCIATION. THEY RECOMMEND A FEW EXTRA STEPS BEFORE YOU HAND OVER ANY INFO TO AN ONLINE RECRUITER. FIRST, DO A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR THE COMPANY NAME. SEE IF THE WEBSITE MATCHES THE AUTHENTIC ONE. IF NOT, BEWARE.

MAKE SURE THE EMAIL ADDRESS MACHESS THE REAL WEBSITE. FIGURE OUT IF THEY ARE WHO THEY SAY THEY ARE. >> NEVER GIVE YOUR INFORMATION TO ANYONE WHO CAN'T VALIDATE THEIR IDENTITY. >> Reporter: FINALLY, INSIST ON SPEAKING TO THE RECRUITER AND TEAMMATES. IDEALLY IN PERSON. HE ONLY INTERVIEWED BY TEXT. >> IF THEY'RE ONLY DOING A TEXT INTERVIEW AND NOTHING MORE, I WOULD SAY THAT'S DEFINITELY A RED FLAG FOR A JOB SCAM. >> Reporter: SO WHAT HAPPENED WITH DIEGO. HIS FRIENDS ENCOURAGED HIM TO ASK THE RECRUITER QUESTIONS. >> I DON'T WANT TO BE SCAMMED. AS SOON AS I SAID THE WORD SCAMMED, THERE WAS RADIO SILENCE FOR LIKE TWO SECONDS AND THEY HUNG UP THE PHONE. >> HE'S GLAD HE WISED UP AND SHUT DOWN THE SCAM.
