<\/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 2-3 hours of work should be suspicious.<\/li>
- The email address to contact is humanresourc.es[@]aol[.]com. This should be suspicious since a hiring organization likely will not use a consumer address like @aol.com or @gmail.com. <\/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>
- Please see Career and Employment Services\u2019 site for helpful tips on how to identify job scams:\u00a0https:\/\/www.pugetsound.edu\/career-and-employment-services\/ces-students\/job-search-resources\/job-seeker-beware<\/a><\/li>
