Job Offer

This job scam phish was circulated over the weekend with all the hints of being a fraudulent job offer. This email does not mention which company they are representing. The text gives a very generic and vague information about the job. Generic salutation, and signature are without any mention of who this person is. Also, text has grammatical mistakes.

These fraudulent emails mostly end up either stealing your personal information, or your money. Always, take the time to look for red flags in an email before taking any action mentioned.  Whenever in doubt, confirm with helpdesk.

This reddit post is also a good read, it was recently posted by UVIC to make students aware about such job scams: https://www.reddit.com/r/uvic/comments/16dpau2/be_on_alert_job_scam_reddit_post/
