WHAT'S HAPPENING?
There are emails that are being circulated, an example of which is below, that
appear to come from @gatech.edu email addresses directing users to follow a
link. These are not legitimate emails.


WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?
If you receive an email like this, do not click on the links. If a phishing or
spam email makes its way into your inbox, please forward it according to the
directions at
http://support.cc.gatech.edu/support-tools/faq/what-should-i-do-when-i-receive-spam-or-phishing-email
to improve the accuracy of GT's filters.

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. The tell-tale sign is to check without clicking the links
to see where they point to. Phishing emails want you to visit a site with an
unusual URL that has nothing to do with the sender. In the example below, the
original links point to a site unrelated to the purported sender.
