Why this looks valid

• Unsolicited job offers directed at college students are common

Why this is fraud

• Grammatical errors are often indicators of malicious emails
• The offer is too good to be true – $200 a week for part-time minimal work at just an hour a day!

Additional notes

• As the spring semester progresses, the frequency of these fraudulent employment offers will increase.   Cyber criminals know our academic schedule and take advantage of the fact that students are looking for summer employment
