How to protect yourself:

  • Never deposit checks from unfamiliar sources.
  • Be cautious about emails that instruct you to act hastily or disclose personal details.
  • Don't open suspicious emails or download unknown attachments.
  • Verify job offers from the CSUN Career Center if you are unsure.


If phishing scams have targeted you:

  1. Stop communicating with the sender immediately.
  2. Do not send money or personal details.
  3. Report immediately to abuse@csun.edu.
