Scam Alert: Recruitment and Part-Time Job E-mails

We are beginning to see a resurgence of emails reflecting scam employment opportunities. Before forwarding these emails to students that might be interested, please take a moment to analyze whether it is legitimate.

• Does it offer the promise of a large sum of money as payment for running errands or walking a dog?
• Be wary of advertisements or emails with spelling or grammatical errors.
• Don’t open a new bank account to receive money for people you don’t know.
• Never trust unusual requests or job offers. If something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.

When in doubt, contact the Career Center at Careers@fairfield.edu.
