Several students have lost their savings to an "AHEAD" internship scam.  AHEAD will not ask you to send any money for an internship.  If the scammers offer to pay you, they are trying to get your bank account info.  All AHEAD emails are from an ahead.org address, not gmail.  If you wonder if something is legit, please contact us before you send (or accept) money.
