Latest Attempt to Scam Victims Out of Money

Posted on: October 5th, 2021 by Jim Pardonek

The latest Phish appears to come from an LUC alumni account.  The Subject is Position.  The body of the email contains no links but contains the following text:

Work from home part-time personal assistant for $800 a week: Students who are interested in filling out this position are to provide a non edu email address along with a cell # for job details and hours.

The 3 key items in this email are the “need a personal assistant”, the $800 a week, and they are asking for a non-luc email for a response.

An analysis of the email uncovers that instead of a reply to address of the sender, the reply actually goes to paulpaulconsultant@gmail.com

Please remember that if something looks to good to be true it probably is.
