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
