These have primarily come in the form of emails and text messages. Often they are asking for wire transfers, advertising fake job postings or asking users to open documents.<\/p>\n<p>So that you don\u2019t fall victim to these attempts, please review the guidelines below.<\/p>\n<p>If you feel you\u2019ve received a suspicious email or text, check the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check the sender\u2019s address or phone number. If it is unrecognizable or something similar to, but not exactly the same as the sender\u2019s normal email address, it could be a phishing attempt. Please note that a similar email address does not mean the original email address has been compromised; this is called a spoofing account.<\/li>\n<li>Any link or odd instructions. If the email directs you to click on a link (even something familiar such as iTunes, etc.) or input sensitive information, it could be an attempt to get your password or other important information. Do not reply to the email or text. Always verify requests for sensitive data or transfers of money in person or by directly calling a known phone number.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you feel that you have received some sort of phishing attempt:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>If you receive an email or text message that you suspect is a phishing attempt, you should forward it to <a href=\"mailto:servicedesk@georgefox.edu\">servicedesk@georgefox.edu<\/a> with an explanation.<\/li>\n<li>You should not click any links or open any attachments.<\/li>\n<li>When Google identifies that an email may be phishing or suspicious, they might show a warning or move the email to Spam.<\/li>\n<li>If an email wasn&#8217;t marked correctly, follow the steps below to mark or unmark it as phishing.\n<ol>\n<li>On a computer, go to Gmail<\/li>\n<li>Open the message.<\/li>\n<li>Next to Reply &lt;&#8211;, click &#8220;More&#8221; (represented by three dots vertically stacked).<\/li>\n<li>Click &#8220;Report Phishing&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>Request that anyone who has been emailed via the attempt also report it as phishing in their inbox.<\/li>\n<li>If you did not click on any links or reply, you do not need to do anything further.<\/li>\n<li>If you did click on a link or send a reply with sensitive information, you\u2019ll want to change your password as soon as you can in <a href=\"http:\/\/my.georgefox.edu\/\">my.georgefox.edu<\/a> (this will automatically update your email password). Then go through the Settings in your Gmail account to look for anything amiss, such as an unfamiliar forwarding address, filter or vacation-responder that you never created.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Feel free to call the Service Desk at 503-545-2569 if you would like help walking through these steps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we get close to the start of the term, there are an increasing number of scam and phishing attempts around campus.
