Help is available in the evening until 9 p.m. and on weekends! Send your questions to the on-call librarian via the “Ask a Librarian” form, or email researchhelp@georgefox.edu.

Thank you to all who made us aware of the most recent phishing campaign. For those unfamiliar with phishing, please see below for a quick refresher.
What to Expect
- The phishing email may appear to be from a legitimate source or offer you something. However, it will attempt to trick you into revealing sensitive information or taking a specific action. Please note that logging into an unknown website or application will reveal your username and password to that website or application. This is one way your username and password can be stolen.
How to Identify Phishing Emails
- Be cautious. Be wary of emails that:
- Create a sense of urgency or panic
- Request sensitive information
- Have spelling or grammar errors
- Contain suspicious links or attachments
- Offer something too good to be true (free stuff) or ask for money
- Verify the sender. Check the sender’s email address to ensure it is legitimate. Look for mistakes in spelling or grammar, and be cautious of unfamiliar senders.
- Don’t click. Never click on links or attachments from suspicious emails. Instead, contact the sender directly to verify their identity.
- Don’t respond. And don’t ever give an unknown person any money!
What to Do
-
- Mark as spam. If you receive a phishing email, mark it as spam immediately.
- Report to IT. Forward the email to our IT department at servicedesk@georgefox.edu so we can investigate and block future messages.
- Reach out to the sender through a different channel than how you were contacted, to ask about the legitimacy.
Your Cooperation
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions, email servicedesk@georgefox.edu.
