UPDATE! ALERT! FRAUDULENT JOB SCAM WITH A CHECK
"UMBC Student Job"- With Upfront Check?? DO NOT BE FOOLED
The Career Center works very hard to ensure that job postings in UMBCworks are legitimate positions, however, scammers are becoming more and more creative, especially in these difficult economic times.
If you encounter a position that you fear may be fraudulent, don’t hesitate to reach out to us
careers@umbc.edu
Please see the following helpful information to assist you with spotting scams before engaging with them.
● Look at the email domain of the sender (john@gmail vs. john@avalidcompany) Be CAUTIOUS if the domain does not match the domain of the company.
● NEVER provide your credit card, bank account numbers, social security number or other financial documentation.
● BE CAUTIOUS of an employer offering a check before work has commenced and NEVER deposit a check before work has commenced. This is almost always a scam.
● NEVER engage with an employer that requires an initial investment, such as a payment by wire.
● BE CAUTIOUS of an employer whose posting includes many spelling and grammatical errors.
● BE CAUTIOUS of an employer who asks for anything out of the ordinary such as a picture of you or who is not operating by normal hiring procedures, such as hiring you without interviewing you.
Scammers often use phishing emails. Some key things to note are:
● The FROM address on an email can easily be spoofed/faked. Just because an email you receive looks like it came from an “@umbc.edu” address or someone you know, does not always mean it actually came from that person.
● Some people may ask, “How does a scammer get my UMBC email address in the first place?” Your email address is not private information. If someone knows your name, they can look up your UMBC email address in the campus directory, or if you have your email address attached to social media or other online accounts and those get hacked, or if someone you know has had
their email hacked, etc. There are many different ways your email address can end up in the hands of a scammer.
● Never click on the links in a phishing message. Just by clicking on the link, you may download a malicious program onto your computer.
If you feel that you have already been scammed, there are important steps you should take.
●If you have already given your personal information, you should follow DoIT's recommendations. You may want to alert the campus police about your particular concerns.
● ***In order to assist the DoIT Security Team's investigation, recipients of the email should send
security@umbc.edu a notification including the full header set of the message. These headers are not normally displayed but can be easily accessed. For more instruction on how to send the
full header set of the message, please refer to:
● If you have already fallen victim to this scam and transferred funds to someone, please file a complaint with the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center. They can be reached at the following
web address: Internet Crime Complaint Center
● If you have not wired money to the criminals, please stop communicating with them. You should still report the situation to the campus police and follow DoIT’s instructions. There is no need to report it to the FBI.
Disclaimer
UMBC is not responsible for employers’ representations or guarantees with regard to job postings, nor is it responsible for wages, working conditions, safety, or other work-related issues that may arise after placement with an employer.

Intern of the Week: Syed Naqi Hussain for Computer Science!
Check out Syed Naqi's internship with KBR Incorporated!
Name:Syed Naqi Hussain
Internship, Co-op or Research Site:KBR Incorporated
Position Title:Software Developer Intern
Major(s)/Minor(s):Computer Science
Current Class Level:Master’s Student
Work Term:Summer 2020
Tell us about your internship, co-op, or research opportunity, including your day-to-day responsibilities.
KBR Inc provides interns the opportunity to work on latest technologies like Edge Computing, Explainable AI and Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality. I was assigned a project in Explainable AI. The project followed Agile Methodology with daily scrum calls. Tickets were assigned to me by my mentors on a weekly basis coinciding with my sprint. My day to day responsibilities included attending the scrum calls and writing code to accomplish the sprint tasks.
Describe the process of obtaining your position. When did you hear of the position and submit your application?
I applied to this position through the Fall 2019 UMBC Career Fair. The company listed their requirements on the job description, which perfectly aligned with my skill sets.
What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization?
The company gave its interns all the required knowledge about the tools it uses through scheduled sessions, which were designed to have proper balance of theory and practicals. I was given ample time to get comfortable with those tools. The Agile project set up made my job easier; breaking down the project into sprints with each sprint consisting of simpler tasks helped me achieve the final goal smoothly.
How do you believe you have made an impact through your work?
The research and implementation of the Explainable Machine Learning model I created helped the vegetation scientist understand the data set and the underlying model in a better way. They could make informed decisions based on it.
What advice would you give to another student who is seeking an internship or similar experience?
Your internship process really starts with you realizing your skills and preparing a resume would be your next step. Reach out to advisors at the UMBC Career Center who could help you organize your resume and make it more effective. Before applying to any job make sure you read the job description to assess your chances of getting an interview call. Your interview is usually based on the skills you mention in your resume and on the job role the company is offering, so make sure you read up the job role and know the contents of your resume.
