Unfortunately, the email above it is a legitimate job offer, but a scam that could cost you money. 骗子们正在伪造bet365中文大学的电子邮件地址,发送求职诈骗电子邮件,旨在诱骗学生申请一份需要他们提供个人信息并可能从事犯罪活动的工作.
请确认所有雇主和代表,然后再通过电子邮件或电话联系.

There are many ways to identify a job scam email:

  • The email is from a Gmail, Yahoo, or other non-Andrews address. Legitimate companies should email from their corporate email account. bet365中文大学不会发布没有公司电子邮件账户的雇主的招聘信息.
  • You are 不 the only recipient on the email. 合法的公司不会同时向多人发送关于工作机会的电子邮件.
  • The email does 不 address you by name. The email may say your information was obtained from a job board, 学校的数据库, or a career services office. 如果是这样,他们应该直接给你发邮件,而不是“你好学生”或“早上好”。.
  • The company name is a legitimate company. 为了使骗局更可信,电子邮件将使用合法公司的名称. 然而, 与你联系的人与他们声称为之工作的公司没有任何关系.
  • They ask to continue the conversation by text. This makes the scam harder to document. Conversations about legitimate offers should be conducted by email.
  • They ask for personal information in an email. 合法的工作机会要求您申请并在正式申请中提供您的个人信息, many times on the company website.
  • The email contains grammatical or spelling errors. 诈骗电子邮件的一个非常普遍的特点是,他们不会费心去检查他们发出的电子邮件的拼写或语法.
  • There is no contact information for the sender. 任何来自公司人力资源或招聘部门的合法电子邮件都应该有发件人的签名行, title, and contact information.
  • The email asks you to visit a non-Andrews website. bet365中文大学只会要求你访问校园官方就业服务活动的网站.

如果您收到包含此类信息的电子邮件,请删除它. There is no need to respond. 如果你对一封邮件是否合法有疑问,请转发给:  helpdesk@aprender-a-bailar.com.

没有:

  • 永远不要在电子邮件或电话中提供个人信息,比如你的社会保险号码或银行账号.
  • Never take cashier’s checks or money orders as a form of payment. 假支票很常见,你兑现支票的银行会追究你的责任.
  • Never cash a check that comes with “extra” money. 骗子会寄支票给你,要求你在你的银行存支票, withdraw the “extra” money as cash, and then deposit that cash elsewhere. The check will bounce and you will be held accountable.
  • Never wire funds via Western Union, MoneyGram or any other service. Anyone who asks you to wire money is a scammer.
  • Never apply for jobs listed by someone far away or in a不her country.
  • 永远不要同意背景调查,除非你亲自见过雇主.
  • Never apply for a job that is emailed to you out 的 blue.

总:

  • 被怀疑. If a job is offering a lot of money for very little work, it could be a scammer trying to get personal information from you.
  • 调查雇主. Do they have a reputable website or professional references? 你想申请的职位列表也在他们的主页上吗? Note: work-study jobs may 不 be advertised on employer websites.
  • Meet face-to-face with a potential employer. 面对面的面试或喝咖啡时的非正式聊天可以帮助你确定雇主的意图.
  • Be sure to choose a public place to meet, tell someone where you are going and bring your cell phone, 以防万一.
  • 相信你的直觉. If a job sounds too good to be true, it is likely a scam.

当网络犯罪分子冒充企业欺骗你提供你的个人信息, 它被称为 phishing. 不要回复要求你提供个人或财务信息的电子邮件、短信或弹出信息. 也不要点击其中的链接——即使这些信息似乎来自你信任的机构, like bet365中文大学—It is 不! 合法的企业不会要求您通过不安全的渠道发送敏感信息.
Malicious email typically uses urgent language, 要求输入密码, 银行账号, 用户名, credit card numbers or other personal information; and may have grammatical, typographical or other obvious errors.
