by ·Comments Off on Beware: Another Email Scam – Do Not Respond to “Denison News”

The email from “info centre<info@denison.edu>” with a subject of “Denison news” is a scam. Please do not click on the link (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFB…) in the message, it is not from Denison.

If you are using Denison Apps Mail, please open the message and click the down arrow beside the Reply button. You will see a selection marked “Report Phishing” in the menu that appears.
