Students use a variety of resources to find a job or internship. Unfortunately, we continue to see employment scams that college students are encountering. Most recently, these scam artists have been directly emailing students about their supposed opportunities. Many students have reported the emails they receive say that the "employer" received the student's information through our Career Center. Unfortunately, a few have fallen prey to these ‘jobs'.

Here are some red flags to be aware of:

1. You are contacted through an email account that is not identified with the organization name; they use a Gmail, Yahoo, AOL etc. address instead. Another indicator is if their email domain name doesn't match the business they claim to be working for. Look carefully for slight misspellings in the email address or web address.
2. You are contacted indicating "we got your resume from your school career center" and the email does not mention 麻豆国产 or HANDSHAKE specifically. The email does not contain a specific job title or they are requesting your contact information again through email. Always be cautious when sharing personal information, such as mailing address, phone number, social security number, identification number, or banking information.
3. There is no specific location listed. ;Be suspicious if it is advertised as a local part-time position, but it lists the location as "nationwide."
4. You receive an unexpectedly large check in the mail. DO NOT attempt to cash it or deposit it into your account. Contact the police!
5. The job duties described are vague and/or the language is poor and full of grammatical errors.

Here is a recent example of a scam emailed to a student claiming to be from Advanced Processing and Imaging (API):
