Note: If you received this email, please delete it. This email is NOT legitimate. Do not reply to the email.

Tips for Detection

  • Beware of job scams and anything that seems too good to be true.
  • Being asked to provide a cell phone number or alternate email address with no reasonable explanation should be suspicious. This is common in phishing emails so that attackers can continue communicating with you with less protections in place.
  • The attachment provides the contact information of the purported UNICEF employer as janelle_keith[@]dr[.]com. A legitimate individual working for UNICEF will likely have an email address matching UNICEF’s website unicef.org.
