"Job Opportunity" Scam

I’ve received the following email several times. At first, I was “almost” ready to sign up. It sounds good and credible, doesn’t it? The catch? There is a sign up fee of $25, and after a week or so, they lower it to $10. I almost signed up. Almost, because I did a Google search and found out it was a scam. Don’t fall for it. I tell you, if it sounds to good to be true, it is. And because of search engines, we’re able to find out about them very soon. That’s great.

Dear Student,

I would like to offer you an exciting and well-paid job opportunity available to students from New Jersey Institute of Technology. Every year we recruit reliable and self-motivated young people to participate in research projects for prestigious local and international companies.

You can earn from $650 to $850 per week by saying what you think. You will participate in online surveys, focus groups, and product/service evaluations. Get rewarded for your time and efforts.

This job is easy and rewarding. All you need is a computer, Internet connection, and good English skills. You will be free to decide from the comfort of your home when to work, how much to work, and which assignments to take. If you like the job, you can keep it as long as you want!

To become part of the research team, please write back and I will be happy to send you more information.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,

Prof. Linda Johnson, Ph.D.
