Communication with You 

We are mindful that the job placement market has recently been infiltrated by individuals attempting to commit fraudulent acts.

These imposter advertisements sometimes contain contact information for interested applicants that are different from an employer’s career website or company email address.  Such imposter job advertisements typically include promises of high-paying jobs with the requirement that job seekers first send sensitive personal information or money to pay for things such as visa applications or processing fees.
