Phishing Message

Description:

This is a better phishing message than what is normally seen. Everything looks right, such as the signature and last line about contacting someone. Always double-check the links as that is the best indicator of whether or not something is a phishing message. In this instance, the link text appears to be a legitimate gatech address, but if you check the link, you’ll notice that it is actually something quite different.

Notes:

The emails listed on this site are only those that are reported to GT Cyber Security as phishing. You may likely receive phishing email messages that are not listed here; you should learn to identify phish emails and how to report them to GT Cyber Security (see links above).
You may recieve a phishing message whose text matches an example listed here, but has a different web link (that is a different phishing URL). Phishers will sometimes send out the same message to different email addresses, varying the url between a set of different phishing URLs.
