COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — From gifts to groceries, the holidays can be expensive. Seasonal jobs can be a good way to bring in some extra cash, but the Better Business Bureau (BBB) of Southern Colorado is warning that criminals are trying to blend in with legitimate employers.

"The basics of the [employment] scam stays the same around the year," said Adah Rodriguez, executive vice president of strategic programs at the BBB of Southern Colorado. "But we do see a sense of urgency this time of year and the pulling on people's emotion about the holidays. Being able to provide for your family, maybe being able to book that trip to go visit family."
