Protect yourself from employment scams
Posted by Alexandra Gast
University Police report an increase in fraudulent emails and text messages targeting members of the campus community. These messages often claim to offer part-time or work-from-home employment opportunities.
Be cautious of any opportunity that asks you to deposit a check and send a portion of the money elsewhere. These scams often involve counterfeit checks, leaving victims responsible for repaying the funds.
If you have questions about the legitimacy of a job offer or solicitation, contact University Police at 573-341-4300. Campus employment opportunities are advertised through Human Resources and university departments.
