Why this looks valid
- The email comes from a Vassar College email address
- The email appears to be regarding an on-campus event
- Unsolicited job offers directed at college students are common
Why this is fraud
- Solicitations for paid jobs on campus are not normally sent via email
- The email lacks any personal greeting or indication that the sender is valid Vassar employee
- When replying, an alternate email address outside of Vassar comes up, indicating that the actual source is a gmail address off campus
