CBS Austin News reported:
Austin Community College issued a warning Wednesday regarding fraudulent offers being sent directly to college students.
Students are receiving the scam by email. It looks like it is coming from ACC faculty but is actually delivered through non-ACC email addresses.
The email says the student was selected for a paid internship. Students then receive a fraudulent check and are asked to purchase supplies from a shell-company vendor. After they spend the money, their bank alerts them that the check is fraudulent.
