It is important to be alert to scams that claim to offer job or income opportunities. Even if a potential opportunity appears to originate from another Pace community member, it is important to be vigilant and not respond to fraudulent messages. A common technique is for a scammer to offer an opportunity to earn money.  A sign that the offer is fraudulent is that the email asks for your personal information, including your home address and phone number, to be sent to an email address referenced in the message. Some of the latest email phishing scams include:

  • A part time Job offer, University Job Placement, WHO Job Opportunity
  • Opportunity to Work Remotely, or extra income working at the Assistance Foundation
  • Fictitious employment offers for a position with UNICEF. For more information, please visit Beware Fraudulent Job Offers
