Phish Bowl Alerts
This job solicitation has some of the usual hallmarks of a fake posting: it uses the name of a professor from the department then pairs it with an unrelated Gmail address, and it has poorly formatted content (with extra spaces throughout and errors in line spacing). But even if it were perfect, do not respond to these unexpected emails. Instead, explore the job openings on the Center for Career Exploration site, and mark emails like these as phishing.
