Phishing Email: Fake Payroll Emails

Our campus email is once again being targeted by scammers attempting to steal passwords and personal information. This afternoon, you may have received several copies of scam emails with the following subject lines:

• "19092011 PAYROLL REPORTS"
• "09122011 PAYROLL BOOKS"
• "11112011 PAYROLL RECORDS"
• "03112011 PAYROLL INDICES"

In all cases, the subjects are a variant related to payroll and the body of the email contains a link that has nothing to do with payroll or KUMC. Here's an example of one of the emails:

 

Please do NOT click on the links contained in these emails, as they are malicious and will attempt to infect your computer with a virus. The best action is to delete the email. And, as always, you should never click on links or open attachments sent to you from an unknown person.

If you have any questions regarding these emails or have received an email that seems suspicious, please contact Information Security at (913) 588-3333 or kumc-security@kumc.edu.
