<\/figure>\n\n\n\nTips for Detection<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Beware of job scams and anything that seems too good to be true. Being offered $500\/week for 3-6 hours of work should be suspicious.<\/li>
- The email signature purported to be from the HR Manager at the university. However, the name of the individual does not work in Human Resources. <\/li>
- Being asked to provide a personal 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.<\/li>
- The attachment provides the contact information of the purported WHO employer as dianne.arnold[@]whoemployments[.]com. A legitimate individual working for the WHO will likely have an email address matching WHO\u2019s website who.int.<\/li>
