Last week another job scam email was sent to some Augsburg folks – “ Student Employment Opportunity – Virtual Data Entry Assistant.” Thank you to the people who notified us about the scam — good scam-sense! You can mark the message as phishing or spam if you received it.
Here’s some red flags I saw in the scam email
– It is from a random .org email address.
– It directs you to an odd form and not our employment site.
– It references “StudentofCalhounCountyISD” at the bottom of the email.
