^{Scam Alert}

F-1 students and J-1 degree-seeking students are permitted to work on campus (payment is from the university) up to the last day of their final enrolled term. Unsolicited email job offers, internships, and business opportunities are always a scam and will promise $300 - $500 a week. Often clicking through these offers and giving up your password will allow the scammer to use your email to send the scam to others at SIUE.

Here are ways to protect yourself, your friends, your family, and SIUE:

1. Forward any suspicious job offer emails to [email protected]
2. Never share your personal information such as Social Security Number (SSN), address and Date of Birth (DoB) with anyone on the phone or through email.
3. Contact ITS if you believe your personal information has been compromised

Additional information to protect yourself from scammers can be found here.

Always remember the U.S. government entities will not call you to ask for any form of payment of any kind
