The NH Attorney General and Employment Security Commissioner are investigating a potential employment scam involving various companies contacting job seekers and offering fake job opportunities in an effort to obtain confidential information. It appears the perpetrators of these fraud schemes are using the names of legitimate NH companies. These companies initially registered with the NH Job Match System, an online resume-posting system run by NH Employment Security. The companies then contact job seekers registered in the system. Employment Security has taken immediate steps to block any involved entity from further access to the system and has also contacted each job seeker potentially affected by this scheme. Anyone who has concerns regarding suspicious activity or who needs additional information should contact the Consumer Protection Bureau of the Attorney General's office at 1-888-468-4454 or Deputy Commissioner Richard Lavers, (603) 228-4065, at NH Employment Security.
