   Request personal information, banking details, or payment to secure a
   position
   -

   Come from non-UCR email addresses or contain suspicious links or
   attachments

If you receive such a message, *do not respond, click on any links, or
provide personal information*. We strongly recommend reporting the email as
phishing and deleting it immediately.If you are unsure whether a message is
