Dear UCR Email Users,
There have been a large number of fraudulent emails sent to all
faculty, staff and students. These emails are crafted to appear as
though they are coming from a bona fide UCR department. These emails
ask for your username and password to keep your account current or
some similar story to gain your confidence.
DELETE ANY AND ALL EMAILS ASKING FOR USERNAME, PASSWORDS OR ANY
PERSONAL INFORMATION. You should never supply such information to
anyone via email, no matter who the email appears to be from. These
are all fraudulent emails being used to trick you into giving them
your password, these are NOT FROM UCR.
DELETE THEM IMMEDIATELY, NEVER REPLY.
Thank You,
Larry McGrath
