Don't Fall for fake student job postings!

Jobs that sound too good to be true should raise a red flag for any college student. Fake job postings are being sent via unsolicited emails to student accounts and are even showing up in online job listing sites. Titles like "work from home" or "part-time job offer" are being sent to CCRI students, sometimes appearing to be legitimate from other CCRI members, offering a few hundred dollars a week in pay.
