Why this looks valid

• Unsolicited job offers directed at college students are common

Why this is fraud

• Awkward grammar and sentence construction are good indicators of malicious emails

• Responding to this email leads to the collection of personal information

• Additional interaction with the sender leads to a check fraud scam

Additional notes

• Did you catch the last paragraph?  They insist that people apply to this job using a non-Marist address.  They want to ensure future communications take place completely outside of Marist College services.

• Are you a Marist student looking for a job? Contact the right experts who can help you at the Center for Career Services: https://www.marist.edu/academic-resources/career-services

• Fraudulent job offers are extremely common. For more information, see https://www.bbb.org/article/news-releases/20710-scam-alert-employment-scams-target-college-students 

• The FTC has additional information about how these scams work.  The sender will mail a check and ask the recipient to send back the difference in the service cost through a wire transfer.  The check will be fraudulent, but by the time your bank figures it out you will be out a few hundred (or thousand!) dollars and it is likely those funds will never be recovered:  https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/job-scams

• A little paranoia goes a long way! Be suspicious of any email messages similar to this one.
