EMU Launches New Campaign To Warn Students About Phishing Scams

Eastern Michigan University

The school year is almost over, and many college graduates are getting ready to look for their first real job.  Unfortunately, that search is being made even tougher thanks to a recent increase in phishing scams.

The newest ones involve phony e-mails that try to get personal information by offering bogus high-paying jobs.

To help combat the problem, Eastern Michigan University has launched a new educational campaign called "Ask Why Before You Apply."

The campaign will include banners in high-traffic areas around campus and posts on social media detailing common tricks used by scammers.
