I found out recently that my college sold all their student's emails and information out. Among the many spams that everyone has been receiving I wanted to post this:

There is a scam a minute - this is today's flavor; tomorrow it'll be someone else. Anyone falling for this will no doubt be asked for some sort of deposit or whatever it'll be called for the imaginary iPhone that is supposedly going to be mailed.


And, lots of companies sell email addresses - it's big business. They don't care about you as long as they get paid.

Do not send any information, and especially not banking information to these people. Obviously do not send them any money either.


If you do want to apply for jobs at Apple the place to start is here - http://www.apple.com/jobs/us/index.html


Best of luck.
