The Wider Backdrop on Task and Testing Scams
The Birsingh case has not been publicly linked to any pattern of conduct, and the allegations it contains are unknown. Separately, complaints about online task work have risen sharply. The Federal Trade Commission reported in December 2024 that task scam reports climbed from essentially zero in 2020 to roughly 20,000 in the first half of 2024, accounting for nearly 40% of all job scam reports filed with the agency. Reported losses from job scams exceeded $220 million over that six-month period.11Federal Trade Commission. New FTC Data Show Skyrocketing Consumer Reports About Game, Online Job Scams
