This fake job offer is sent from one non-Brown address (@optimum.net) and requests that applicants send their personal details to a different Gmail address. If that doesn't make you wary of the offer, the unnecessary capitalizations of many words, along with it being signed by the "Dean of College Business" should provide additional red flags.
