This email is most definitely fraudulent, and should be marked as SPAM or phishing in your inbox to help Google identify these as fraudulent and begin to block them.
Traditionally, we have reserved this blog and the Status page for updates related to system outages and other items related to the technology at PLU, but due to the craftsmanship which went into these phishing emails and their appearance of authenticity, we felt it was appropriate to post an announcement regarding these messages.
To recap from our previous posts on Spam/Phishing emails from the Help Desk Blog, PLU will never solicit your account information. All of our ePass account transactions (e.g., password changes) take place at epass.plu.edu or via the PLU account login page.
If you have clicked on the links in the fraudulent email or sent any information to the sender, please contact the Help Desk immediately at 253-535-7525 or helpdesk@plu.edu. You can also stop by the Help Desk, located on the first floor of the Library.
Always err on the side of caution when it comes to account security -- if you're ever uncertain of the veracity of an email, please contact the Help Desk for clarification.
We apologize for the inconvenience that these phishing emails can cause, and we will do our best to keep you up to date with current information on when they are being actively spread. We appreciate all who take the time to check with us when they receive these emails and those who are diligent with reporting these emails to us. Your dedication to keeping us informed helps immensely, and we appreciate having an extra set of eyes available to check for these messages.
