That Job Your Co-Worker Emailed You About? Yeah … No.

CyberCrime & Doing Time

My niece, Anna, is a school teacher in the Birmingham Public School system.

Another teacher in the system got phished and the phisher sent an email to a bunch of other teachers, offering them a summer job as an administrative assistant, earning $500 weekly for working only 8 hours.  Tempting?  

The email had a link to a Google Form with the job application.

The form goes on to ask her Full Name, Email: [Not School Email!], Alternative Email, and Phone Number, as well as Current Occupation, Age, Sex, and Available Time.

Why does it say “Not School Email!” — because this exact scam is being conducted by phishing people in schools all across the country! 

Her new boss, Dr. Reinn, hit her up on text, from the phone number (904) 297-8521, got her resume, reviewed it, and offered her the job on the spot!
