Always be vigilant in applying for and accepting internships. Keep in mind the following:

  • An offer must be finalized in writing after you have met the employer in person
  • Do not give your personal bank account, PayPal account, credit card or PIN numbers, Social Security number or other personal financial information to a new employer
  • Do not agree to have funds or paychecks direct deposited into any of your accounts by a new employer - you should know them first
  • Do not forward, transfer, send by courier (EX: FedEX, UPS), or "wire" any money to any employer, for any employer, using your personal account(s)
