Phishing Scams and Schemes Unveiled

The following is a scam email which the scammer has compromised another VCU account and is using it to send out emails to others inside the university.

The scam email has a VCU logo in the header to try to appear more legitimate. The email states that the victim needs to update their information otherwise their email would be deactivated. This is a scam because the email address is not a service account – it is another hacked individual at the university.

If you have received this email please delete it.
