IT Services has received reports of a couple of fraudulent email messages that appear to offer summer employment for students with the “department of Disability Resources and Educational Services.”

One version of the email claims to be from a particular professor, including Dr. James Duff. The subject line for these phishing emails is usually some form of: “Miami University Summer Employment Opportunity” or “EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS ONLY.” The idea is the same: The email is a scam offering student employees money for assistant services.

The scam email usually contains some version of this sentence:

This is a very simple employment. You will only help me Mail letters, Make payments at Walmart and purchase some Items when needed. This employment only takes an hour a day and 3 times a week for $400 weekly.

The scammer asks for personal information, including address.
