Hello everyone,
As students are coming back to campus, the Internet Scams are too! There is another one involving internships with the subject line: APPLY NOW–AUGSBURG UNIVERSITY Research Development Internship. Because this is now the second scam involving careers, internships, and research in the past few months, I want to send out some tips for being more cautious!
Here are some details from the scam email to pay attention to:
Note the From: as it is clearly not an Augsburg email:
Date: Mon, Aug 24, 2026 at 9:29 PM
Subject: APPLY NOW–AUGSBURG UNIVERSITY Research Development Internship:
Also note that this is not an office on the Augsburg campus, The Office of Career And Employment Services at Augsburg University.
Also pay attention to the email they are asking you to respond to: philldal.augsburg@gmail.com; this is not an augsburg.edu address.
And finally, any internship or research opportunities will be posted on URGO’s website and not emailed to you from a personal email.
I hope this helps! Please remain cautious with your information and check websites and addresses before replying to anything!
