  • “Puget Sound” is spelled “Pugetsound” in this message. Along with other typos, this should be suspicious.
  • Always use caution with attachments that have a HTM or HTML file extension type. They likely contain a self-contained webpage that will attempt to steal your Puget Sound credentials. Never put in your username or password on sites that you do not recognize.
