Job Scam: INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

Phish Bowl Alerts

Sounds tempting, right? Three hours of work for $400 each week, a flex schedule, remote work, and a "a gateway to pay all expenses incurred on campus." If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. They may promise a job, but they really want your personal information and/or money, as described in this FTC article.
