I thought I would publish the phishing and other scam emails we get so that if anyone searches the content of the emails they will find this page and know its a scam. I’ll add more as we get them. Usually our security blocks them but sometimes they get through.
WARNING THESE EMAILS ARE SCAMS!!

Phishing attacks are by far the most common type of cyberattack, attackers imitate a legal or authorized company and try to steal personal data or login credentials, these emails usually contain threats and also a sense of urgency for scaring the users into clicking the link.
