Avoiding Scams: General Tips for Students
Although all information submitted by employers is reviewed before approval, we cannot guarantee that all information is accurate or truthful. When applying for jobs it is very important that you educate yourself about potential scams.
Some indications that a position may be fraudulent are:
The promise of a large salary for very little work - especially those that state thousands of dollars of income per month with little or no experience required.
Positions that ask you to give credit card, bank account numbers, personal identification numbers (e.g. Social Security Number) or copies of personal documents.
Positions that ask you to mail or transfer payments (e.g. Wire or bank transfers, mailing checks or using an app such as Venmo or CashApp).
Positions that require you to purchase and mail items (e.g. Gift cards, phones, or other items of value).
Positions in which you are offered a large payment or reward in exchange for allowing the use of your bank account - often for depositing checks or transferring money.
If you suspect a position is fraudulent, please contact careerservices@dominican.edu. If you believe you are the victim of fraud resulting from a job posting, please contact local police as well.
