Exams are over but watch out. A group is targeting international students by advertising jobs at a juice bar in Melbourne. They conduct an interview via video chat and then send the video to relatives, claiming that students are in financial trouble. They then ask relatives to send money to a professor that doesn’t exist.

Pass this on. Let your friends and family know.

If you or someone you know has been involved in the scam, contact a Student Support staff member.
