Possible Phishing Attempt

LITS has received reports of a possible phishing attempt. Employees have reported email messages similar to the following:

  • Good Morning, I have a student here that is in need of your help. Would you be able to schedule a time for us to talk more, so that I can provide additional information? Thank you!!

The sender typically claims to be connected with another college or university, but the sender’s email address is not from a .edu domain associated with that institution.

If you receive a similar email, especially if you do not recognize the sender’s name and have not interacted with the institution they claim to be from, it’s best to report the email as phishing.

LITS thanks those who brought this most recent attempt to our attention. If you have questions or concerns, please email the InfoDesk or call us at 814-332-3768.
