Imagine, an email hits your inbox offering a job with great flexibility, high pay and few hours from what looks like an official ND department or professor. Sure it may be unsolicited, but who would pass up this too-good-to-be-true opportunity?
That’s exactly how scammers are hoping you’ll react! Job scams are a leading phishing attack on campus that target students. Once you know the signs, they can be spotted and reported easily!
Scam School takes you through the mind of a scammer so that you can beat them at their own game. If you ever receive a job scam or any other type of phishing attempt, be sure to report the suspicious email right away.
|
|
|
Phishing attempts can take on many shapes—like job offers, payment requests, document shares, and requests for authentication. But they share common tells that can help you spot the scam, such as:
|
|
|
-
Spelling and grammatical errors
- A sense of urgency or threat of immediate repercussions
- A request for personal information like passwords or payment details
- Unusual links, attachments or QR codes
- Inconsistencies in the FROM email address and body of message
|
| |
|
If any message contains one of these tells, you may be dealing with a phish and should continue to be very cautious. If you spot a phish in your inbox, be sure to report the suspicious email right away. This will help keep others from interacting with the same message!

|
|
