Helpful Tips to Protect Yourself from an Email Scam:

If you received one of these emails, follow these steps immediately:

1. Do not respond or engage with the sender.
2. Do not provide any personal information (such as your name, address, Social Security number, or banking/credit card details).
3. Stop all further contact if you've already initiated a conversation with the scammer.
4. Inform others if you forwarded the email to anyone, by sharing this warning with them.
5. If you’ve responded to the scam and provided personal details, contact your college's helpdesk immediately for assistance in protecting your identity.

Scam and phishing emails can be tricky to spot, but here are some key tips to help you make safer decisions when interacting with your inbox:

1. Verify the sender: Check if the sender’s email address is legitimate. Look for small inconsistencies like misspellings or unfamiliar domains. College personnel will only officially communicate through the official college email systems.
2. Look out for urgent language: Scammers often try to rush you into making quick decisions by using phrases like "act immediately" or "urgent job opportunity."
3. Be cautious of unexpected job offers: If you did not apply for a position or internship, it’s highly likely the offer is fake.
4. Do not click on links or download attachments from suspicious or unsolicited emails. These can contain malware or lead you to phishing sites.
5. When in doubt, ask: If you’re uncertain about an email's legitimacy, contact Camp IT Support. Never reply to the email with personal details.
