Why this looks valid

• The email contains information that can be validated, such as the company name
• Unsolicited job offers directed at college students are common

Why this is fraud

• Misspelling and grammar errors are often indicators of malicious emails
• We’ve seen this one before!  In fact, it has the same name and company name:  http://pages.vassar.edu/catchoftheday/2017/02/05/a-message-job-offer-for-student/

Additional notes

• The email does reference a real company, so an email to an address listed on the website would quickly establish whether or not this is a valid offer.
