<p>The email was from someone with a ■■■■■■■■■■■■ address. He also did not state who he is in the email(for example, he did not say he was a Duke Alum, so I’m not sure if it is a Duke Alum interviewing me or not. But he did say where he worked and what his name was).</p>
<p>Could this be a fake email? It was not sent using a @duke.edu address, rather I received it from a ■■■■■■■■■■■■ address that anyone can make.</p>
<p>Alumni don’t have @duke.edu e-mail addresses anyways. (Although they can request @alumni.duke.edu addresses, but it uses a third party e-mail service anyways for storage/interface/sending, so doesn’t really make that much of a difference). As far I know, only Duke alumni are permitted to conduct interviews. I highly doubt somebody is fraudulently trying to interview you for Duke. How could they possibly know that you applied and what would they have to gain by contacting you? As long as he doesn’t request the interview to occur in a deserted room by himself, and instead suggests a public place like a coffee shop, you’ll be fine. Google his name, look on linkedin or facebook or something like that if you’re that concerned and want additional evidence.</p>
<p>I’m sure its real. My boyfriend recently had his Stanford interview and the interviewer had a Hotmail account.</p>
<p>Don’t worry, it’s legit.</p>
<p>Honestly I think Northwestern, stanford, duke, and brown seem to be good fits.</p>
<p>I am a Duke alumni interviewer and always use my gmail account to initiate contact. My duke.edu address is dormant and only used for forwarding emails. This sounds legit</p>
