Job and Internship Scams: Be Aware

Canvas Course: Job Search – What Should I Watch Out For?

Received a scam internship or job offer? Make sure that you research companies and positions to confirm that they are genuine opportunities. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

Know the signs, and be suspicious if a listing contains any of the following:

  • Asks for your bank account number so they can pay you.
  • Asks you to pay money or to give them secure personal information.
  • Asks you to buy equipment or supplies for a virtual job.
  • Links to a generic e-mail address (like Gmail, Hotmail, or Yahoo) not corporate or academic e-mail.)
  • Requires no interview or previous experience.
  • Came “out of the blue” to your inbox or phone.
  • Doesn’t list a recognizable department, university, website, or company.
  • Sends you a check before you accept an offer or have done any work.
