Hello,
I contacted your school admin at Denison University; I graduated from there. I explained that I was looking for an Administrative/Personal Assistant and your email was sent to me, they said you are an honest person. This job is flexible so you can perform the tasks during your spare time outside of school and the position is extremely rewarding. Get back to me ASAP if you are interested in more information.

by ·Comments Off on Be Aware of Sextortion Scams

A few Denison community members have recently received a scam email demanding bitcoin payment from an individual claiming to have their password and pornography viewing history. Sometimes the passwords are ones that have been used by the individual in the past for services outside of Denison, made available from a third-party breach (no Denison system data has been breached). This scam has been popular across higher education over the last few months, with some institutions seeing 100’s of recipients. If you receive this email, feel free to mark it as phishing.

  • To find out which personal information has been leaked in previous third party breaches, you can check your email address at this site.
