This article explains a phishing email that impersonates campus student employment and human resources programs to lure users with fake job opportunities.

Why this looks valid:

  • Email is offering jobs for the campus stating it’s from Student Employment Programs
  • Attachment includes more information and poses as Human Resources

Why this is phishing?

  • All jobs for our campus and community are available only through Career Services via Handshake
  • Email is not from the Montclair domain and is coming in externally
