- Technology Services adds a banner at the top of email messages that match patterns of previous phishing attacks. If you see this banner, please use extra caution.<\/li>
- Transferring $10.5 million completely out of the blue is certainly too good to be true! Many phishing emails purport to offer you funds, but are instead ruses to gain financial information from you.<\/li>
- The reply-to address is mrsroseraya[@]inbox[.]lv which does not match the sending email address of mr.handaseebbe002[@]gmail[.]com.<\/li>
- The email asks you to provide personal information. As a reminder, never<\/strong> send financial information such as account number or routing number over email.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
