I designed cybersecurity content for a bank. I still almost got roped into two scams when job hunting.

• Graphic artist Julius von Brunk said he learned about job scams when he worked on a cybersecurity team at a bank.
• Desperate to find work, he said he encountered two scams while job-hunting and initially ignored red flags.
• The scams included someone impersonating a bank recruiter and a fake post on LinkedIn.

A spokesperson for LinkedIn told Business Insider via email:

“Our teams and technology work behind the scenes to spot and stop most scams before they even reach our members. If members do come across anything suspicious, we encourage them to report it so we can quickly take action like we did in both of these scenarios.”
