Red Flags to Watch For
- Generic Greetings and Sign-offs: The email addresses you simply as "Dear Student" and is signed by a vague "Hiring Team" rather than a specific campus department, official, or hiring manager.
- Too Good to Be True: Offers of high pay ($600/week) for minimal, fully remote work with "no prior experience required" are classic indicators of employment scams.
- Vague Urgency: Encouraging you to immediately click a generic "[CLICK HERE]" link to apply.
What To Do If You Received This
- If you did not interact with it: Delete the email immediately.
- If you clicked the link or provided credentials: Please change your university account password immediately and contact the IT Service Desk for assistance with securing your account.
