New Scam Targeting Students
Recently, scammers have been trying to reach students through fraudulent work and internship opportunities. There have been emails circulating claiming that you are eligible for an internship or student employment position.
While using the names of a real Miami employee and often mentioning Miami University Career Services, there are many flaws with these scams to keep an eye out for. The email is often not sent from a Miami email address and does not properly use the titles of university departments.
For more information about this scam, read our news article here.
If a message feels suspicious, it most likely is. If you receive a message that you suspect to be a phishing message, please forward it to InfoSec@MiamiOH.edu. This allows the information security team to block sites that may be associated with phishing attacks. If you ever feel you may have responded to a fraudulent message or clicked a link in one, please contact IT Help immediately at 513-529-7900.
