Please also see this FAQ: I have received an email asking me for my username and password. What should I do?
Phishing emails are messages which are sent to try and obtain personal or financial information from you, or to try and trick you into making payments to fraudulent bank accounts. IT Services do what we can to prevent spam emails being received, but it is not possible to prevent them all getting through to your inbox.
On this page, we outline a number of ways that you can identify a phishing email. If you are still not sure whether or not the email you have just received is a scam or not, just delete it. If you’ve received a message claiming to be from a tutor, school or department and you think it might be fraudulent, delete the message and then separately contact the individual or office.
Remember: The University will never ask you to send your password by email.
