Quick Request

This email below has been confirmed as malicious or fraudulent by the Information Security department. If you have received this phishing email, do not open any attachments or follow the link(s) in the message; simply delete the email.

This is similar to a previous Phish listed on the Phish Bowl, “Kindly provide your available cell number”. This time the scammer went a step further and set up a free Outlook email account with the name of the Chair they are impersonating. The name of the Chair is changed to a fake name in the screenshot below. The Chair would be using their UT Health SA email account, not a free personal account. If you receive an email similar to this, delete it.

Red Flag - email came from an outlook.com account instead of uthscsa.edu
