WHAT'S HAPPENING?
There are emails that are being circulated, an example of which is below, that include a suspicious attachment. These are not legitimate emails.


WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?
If you receive an email like this, do not open the attachment or click on the links. If a phishing or spam email makes its way into your inbox, please forward it according to the directions at

You can learn to recognize phishing emails. They frequently contain poor grammar and unusual wording. Sometimes they will use a legitimate-looking email address, but they don't always. In some cases, there is a mismatch between the name and the email address in the From field. However, these are not always present. In the example below, the email contained a garbled attachment in a likely attempt to entice the recipient to contact the sender and provide financial details.
