Title :
Equal Opportunity Scams [The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly Engineering FACTS]
Abstract :
One of the greatest things the author enjoys about IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) is the opportunity to collaborate with other organizations that are interested in helping women and young girls explore new career opportunities and realize their aspirations. It is sad that women have encountered such difficult struggles to develop successful careers in nontraditional fields, but it appears that scammers are equal opportunists and prey on anyone. These scam artists are counting on women´s lack of confidence and insecurity to stay in business and out of jail.
