Apparently, phishers don’t take the weekend off. We received this high-volume phish over the weekend. It is similar to the other paid part-time job offer phishes we have been receiving.<\/p>\n

Phishing signs:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. ‘Re:’ in the subject line is to confuse the recipient that it is a reply to a previous email, which is not the case.<\/li>\n
  2. Pretending to be some sort of career academy, ‘Academy Career’ but doesn’t have any name for this academy so just put these two words together.<\/li>\n
  3. This one has a salutation but salutation is just your account name, not your name.<\/li>\n
  4. Too good to be true offer, and the text has grammar and spelling mistakes.<\/li>\n
  5. Asking to use your personal email to respond, the reason is to avoid UVic monitoring.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Please be aware of such too good to be true offers. Always pay attention to the little details that can give away it is a phishing scam.<\/p>\n
