Please be aware of a current job offer scam perpetrated through the use of the internet. The scammers frequently misappropriate and use a company’s log and photos to give the appearance of legitimacy. The scam preys upon those seeking employment and uses false and fraudulent offers of employment with employers, such as Balt Inc to steal from the victims. Balt believes that one of the best ways to put a stop to this scam is to make sure you are aware of it.
