Phishing Scams and Schemes Unveiled

This is a targeted phishing scam towards the VCU community. The scammer attempts to scare victims by telling them their Office365 account will be terminated. The “vcu.edu/enrollment-management” is text that has a different URL which links to a google form. This form would capture your password giving away your credentials to the scammer.

An example of the text from the email can be seen below:

“It has come to our attention that your Office 365 account is associated with two different logins on two separate universities’ portals.
To prevent immediate termination within the next 24 hours, strict adherence to this notification is required.

Please allocate 24 hours to either verify your account at www.vcu.edu/enrollment-management or anticipate the termination of your account.

Failure to verify will result in the closure of your account.
Your compliance is imperative.”
