Security Advice: Scam Emails
Last updated: Tue Oct 8 9:59
We have received reports of scam emails which appear to come from University colleagues, asking staff and students to purchase items including gift cards.
If you have received an email that may be a scam, please report it through the IT: Security Help form in UofG Helpdesk. Do not open attachments, click links or share personal details.
How to spot a scam email
If you receive any unexpected emails, even if they appear to come from someone you trust, think:
- Are you being asked for money or personal details?
- Does the email address of the sender look right?
- Do the URLs of any links look right? (you can ‘hover’ over a link to see its real address)
- Are attachments in the format you would expect?
What if I have interacted with a scam email?
If you think you may have interacted with a scam email, for example clicking links, opening attachments, making payments or sharing details, the Information Security team can help. Get in touch using the IT: Security Help form in UofG Helpdesk.
