News

Students—don’t get scammed! A new email scam targeting students promises a paycheck for office supplies. Another recent scam attempt is the “job offer scam” via email. These emails are typically for job offers or internships that promise a weekly paycheck of $300-$400. Typically in these email phishing campaigns, the cybercriminals are impersonating a Clemson professor. One of the indicators that it is not a legitimate email is that it is from a Gmail address instead of a clemson.edu account. Forward any suspicious email to phishing@clemson.edu.

Learn how to avoid falling victim to email scams.
