JOB SCAM

Don't get caught in their game!

One particular scam that occurs more frequently this time of year, is a job scam. These scams come via email and text messages. Here are some tips to help avoid getting scammed.

• Student jobs at PC are posted on Handshake. If you are offered a job via email that you didn't previously applied for, it is likely a scam.
• If you receive an email with the External flag in the email, it is very likely not from a member of the PC community.
• Any job that asks you to purchase your own supplies or training is a scam, even if they promise to reimburse you.
• Legitimate recruiters will email you from a business domain (usually companyname.com), not a personal email address.
• Legitimate recruiters will not ask for personal info (driver’s license, social security number, or bank information), up front.
• If you are offered a job without interviewing for the job, it’s a scam.
• If it seems like it might be too good to be true, it’s probably is.

If you are ever unsure about the legitimacy of a job opportunity or offer, you can email the Chirico Career Center. If you are unsure if an email is legitimate, you can forward it to the IT Helpdesk.

If you are the recipient of an email scam, please report it to Microsoft.
