The International Student Blog

Over the past week there has been a new wave of email scams who are targeting internet users all around the world to part with their personal and financial details. The scam email appears to come from the hiring manage of the International Student Exchange Center – telling them about an excellent new area representative job and if you are interested you should apply with your personal details and CV.

We have been contacted by thousands of users who are asking us if we are anything to do with this, so we wanted to set the record straight that we have no involvement with this and want to warn users about the dangers of scams like this.

If you have received one of these emails – it is a SCAM – and it is not from InternationalStudent.com and we have no association with this.

You should delete the email and certainly do not respond to it. It has also been reported to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), and the Bureau of Justice Assistance.
