Be On-Guard Against Job Scams Targeting Campus Community

Chapman University’s IS&T department has reported a recent increase in the number of fraudulent emails being sent from compromised email accounts at Chapman. The most recent messages have been scams offering fraudulent pet-sitting or other part-time jobs, including one this morning, Nov.9.

IS&T reports Chapman is normally targeted with phishing email campaigns in the 3,000 email range. In the past week, that number has risen dramatically. On Nov. 6, IS&T reported 18,000 scam emails, and today Nov. 9, IS&T has reported 29,000 scam emails.

Do not respond; these are phishing emails. The attacker contacts Chapman community members through compromised Chapman accounts, then asks for further correspondence to be done with a non-Chapman email.

Please report any suspicious messages, and stay on guard.

If you are unsure about the legitimacy of an email, please check the Trending Email Scams webpage for status on the latest phishing emails. If you do not see your email posted on the page, please report the email.
