Phish Bowl Alerts

This basic job scam, purported to be sent from the "School Finance Aid Department",  "Brown's School Alumni", "abuse@brown.edu" and "accounts_payable@brown.edu", claims to offer a too-good-to-be-true part time "Virtual Assistant Position". Once clicking the "Enrollment Portal" link, users are directed to a Google Form where they are encouraged to enter their personal information.
