One Phish, Two Phish, Three Phish

Emails that fish for your credit card number, SIN, or password are called “phishing”. Recent phishing emails here at Mount Saint Vincent University claimed that you requested to terminate your account, and that if you didn’t click a suspicious link to verify your account, then IT&S would terminate it. IT&S never sends threatening emails like this, and we never ask you to click account verification links. The link opened a web form asking for your email address, password, and cell phone number.
