The Help Desk was recently notified of two phishing scams targeting students, faculty, and staff of Wright State University. The first scam shows up in your email informing you that you've received a new fax from EPSON. It then provides a link where you can 'download your fax message'.
The second scam has a subject line titled HELPDESK and the message says you have been upgraded to 4 GB of space. It then provides a link for you to click on.
Please be aware that these messages scams and are NOT BEING SENT BY CaTS. If you reply, your information will be sent to an email address of the scammer, not to the CaTS Help Desk. You should delete these messages immediately.
Be aware that any email claiming to be from CaTS, Wright State University or another business which asks for your login, personal, or financial information is a definite scam. CaTS, Wright State, and other reputable businesses WILL NEVER ask you for any personal information, such as your username and password, via email. CaTS would also like to emphasize that you should never respond to these emails or click links within them, nor should you give out your personal information to anyone via email.
