There are some scam messages out there with my name attached to them. Some signs are:

• If the message is not from my Cornell email address and it claims that I need to talk to you about something in my Cornell capacity, it is a scam.
• I will never ask you to deal with gift cards.
• Cornell has processes for student hiring, and they do not involve texting your personal information to random phone numbers. That is a scam.

The Cornell Phish Bowl has many other examples of scam messages that have been reported, as well as advice on how to spot them. If you think I may actually have reached out to you and aren’t sure, feel free to mail my official email and ask “is this a scam?”
