Original Phishing Message

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

Tips for Detection

• Notice the maroon caution banner prepended to the message.
• 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 dr.dennis[@]unicefjob[.]com. A legitimate individual working for UNICEF will likely have an email address matching UNICEF’s website unicef.org.
