"Reed College Webmail User" phishing attack

Thu, 09 Jul 2009 09:05:00 -0700

Variations of the following phishing email are targeting the Reed community. Please remember that we will never ask for your password. Some of the tip-offs include: 1) grammatical errors; 2) differing "From" and "Reply-To" email addresses (none of which are Reed email addresses); 3) bogus URL at the bottom of the message.
