The InfoDesk received reports of several new phishing attempts and email scams. Please be alert to such messages you receive particularly when you are not expecting the message, the message is worded oddly, or request fast action unnecessarily. Those are all typical signs of phishing or email scam. For more suggestions on identifying phishing attempts and other email scams, please review the Is It Phishing page on the Library and Information Technology Services (LITS) website. Should you receive a message that is suspect it is always wise to report the message as spam in Gmail.
