Original Phishing Message

Note: If you received this message, please simply delete it and do not click any links as the message is NOT legitimate.

Tips for Detection

  • Notice the caution banner prepended to the message. This banner is applied on emails matching patterns of other phishing attempts.
  • Technology Services will never ask you to click a link to prevent email deactivation. Legitimate emails from Technology Services will come from an *@pugetsound.edu email address.
  • The urgent tone of the email is common in phishing emails. When emails threaten to shut off access to services, always use extra caution.
