The IRS has issued a warning about phishing emails targeting educational institutions. These phishing emails impersonate the IRS with topics related to tax refund payment. Links in those emails ask for sensitive personal information to be submitted to the attacker. These emails are not legitimate even though the email and/or website may contain IRS logos.

Please see https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-warns-university-students-and-staff-of-impersonation-email-scam for full details.

If you receive an email similar to this, please report it to Technology Services by forwarding the message as an attachment to servicedesk@pugetsound.edu or ts_infosec@pugetsound.edu.
