- The bait: An email pretending to be from "Student Employment & Career Services" offered an easy remote job: $550/week, only 1–3 hours a day, no experience needed. The too-good-to-be-true pay is what draws people in.
- Looking legit: It used a professional tone and a fake campus-department name to seem official.
- Creating pressure: It urged students to apply early before a "deadline" so they wouldn't stop to check if it was real.
- The redirect: Instead of a real job portal, it sent students to a generic Google Form, and told them to copy-paste the link into a browser (a trick to get around email spam/link filters).
- Stealing info: The form started with normal questions, then asked for sensitive details: full name, address, phone, age, personal and school email — and even occupation and bank name. No real job application asks for your bank up front.
- The payoff: This sets up the next stage: a fake "onboarding" check to deposit and send money back, requests for full bank details, or outright identity theft.
