Warning — Never Email Passwords!
Never send anyone your account password!
Con artists are sending phishing scams to Penn email addresses.
Phishing scams attempt to trick you into sending sensitive information
such as account passwords. Do not respond to them.
Our computing staff at Penn never solicit sensitive information
via email. And none of us should ever tell anyone our account passwords,
for any reason.
If you have sent your account password by email, please contact your
computer support provider as soon as possible
so that we can minimize the damage.
Samples of Penn-directed phishing attempts are available.
Please see other suggestions
for avoiding phishing scams.
