Students beware - annual scam in progress
WWU's Student Employment Center has noted that a common scam has been occurring again on campus. Students are contacted and offered a job — typically as a personal assistant. The student is sometimes asked to run a couple simple errands for the scammer. Then they are told the scammer is temporarily out of the country. The scammer will tell the student they are going to send them a check — usually via UPS
