This phish was received over the weekend but there are others received over the weekend as well as received this morning from related threat actor with different senders with these subject lines ‘Re: Covid Funds Relief’ or ‘Re: College $1000 benefit check available’ or ‘Re: NOV COLLEGE GRANT/FUNDS APPROVED FOR PAYMENT 2022’ or ‘Re: COLLEGE GRANT/FUNDS APPROVED FOR PAYMENT 2022’. All these are scam phishes asking for your cell number to evade the communication from UVic network.
The sender’s name is too generic ‘COLLEGE BOARD’ or ‘STUDENT JOB BOARD’, generic salutation and no signature, too good to be true offer. All these are signs of a phishing email.
Please do not give your personal information and do not correspond with the phisher on any mode of communication. These scams usually lead to stealing confidential information and/or duping you into giving money. Always pay attention to the phishing signs and think before taking any mentioned action.
