[Phish Alert] Learning & Development | Student Employment Program
This article explains a phishing email that impersonates Montclair State University’s Student Employment Program by using a realistic job application form to appear legitimate.
Why this looks valid:
- Email states it’s from Montclair State University
- States it’s from the Student Employment Program
- Google Form requests information you would fill out on a job application
Why this is phishing?
- All jobs for our campus and community are available only through Career Services via Handshake
- Email is offering a job that is too good to be true to entice the user
- Email is coming from an external email address and not the Montclair domain
