How can students protect school login information?

A real-looking employer, school, or vendor name does not prove that the person contacting you represents it.

What to do

• Verify the opportunity through the organization’s official website and contact information.
• Do not pay to get paid, deposit a check and return money, or send sensitive records before verification.
• For payment-change requests, confirm the change with a known person through a separate channel.

Keep the decision in your control

You do not need to decide immediately whether a contact is genuine. End the unexpected conversation, find a trusted contact route independently, and ask for help before sending money or information.
