A 16-year-old from Troy recently fell victim to a job scam that appeared to be from his school. The scam email included details about a part-time work-study opportunity and was signed with the school's name, making it seem credible. The teen received the email in June and thought it was legitimate due to the school's domain.

He filled out the application, nearly losing $900 in the process. Further details about the scam and the teen's experience are available from WXYZ Channel 7, including a video report by Jolie Sherman.
