Recently, Virginia Tech has received a number of phishing emails that claim to offer student job opportunities. These emails may come from a “vt.edu” email address or from an external Gmail address, and request information to be sent to a non-VT address.
Scams such as this one are common around university campuses. These scams often ask students to send a resume or other personal information, which is then used to attempt to steal money or for other purposes.
The content in the email currently circulating may look like this, and may have a subject line such as “POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT,” “ASSISTANT JOB OPPORTUNITY, “Flexible Internship Work,” or any number of similar subject lines.
