Employment Scams

Beware of employers that scam college students! There are various employment scams designed to gain access to people’s money, bank account information, social security number, or identity. These scams often are posted on online job boards, websites, or via e-mail (inclusive of UMass Amherst Handshake, and Student Job Board). As you enter a job or internship search, keep in mind that if a job seems too good to be true it very well might be.

Learn how to identify potential employment scams to keep yourself safe, as well as how to report any unethical employer behavior you come across during your search.
