TheDream.US "office" will be closed for Labor Day, Sept 4th.

We have heard of at least 3 recent scams affecting some of our Scholars. The Scholars shared similar experiences where they received a deceptive email, with the college’s logo posing as a job opportunity from their college career center. 

Falling victim to this remote job scam, they faced significant financial loss.

Please take a moment to remind your students to stay cautious of unexpected job offers, especially those involving money transactions. Encourage them to verify before they trust and to report any suspicious activity immediately.

Your support in keeping our community safe is invaluable. If you come across any scams targeting students, kindly alert us. Let's work together to ensure the safety and well-being of our Scholars.
