PHISHING ALERT  5/1/2013

Numerous members of the UNH community have reported receiving phishing emails similar to the one shown below.  While this example pretends to come from Wells Fargo, other scam emails pretend to come from the Bank of America, Citizen's Bank and other well known institutions.  If you are unsure of any unexpected email, contact the sender directly using a publically available phone number or browse directly to their website.  Do not click on the links or respond to the email by replying. 

Delete this and similar emails and purge from your deleted folder.  You can also verify suspicious emails by contacting the IT Service Desk or IT Security 

If you have responded or clicked a link in a suspicious email, shut down your computer and contact your departmental IT support or call the UNH IT Service Desk at 603 862-4242.
