This is a typical phish creating a sense of urgency that your account would be deactivated. The telltale signs for this phish :
- External sender, why would an external entity be involved in upgrading UVic accounts.
- Meaningless salutation and signature, too generic to the point that makes it senseless.
- The link given is external (check by hovering over it), not hosted on ‘uvic.ca’.
- Grammatical mistakes.
- RE in the subject is to give you a false sense that you know this sender or had prior conversation.
Never click on the links just because the email states it. Take a moment to think and look for phishing signs.
