Phishing Warning! One that Slipped Through the Net

Phishing-Warning

There is plenty of coverage at the moment about cyber attacks and the need to be more vigilant when looking at the emails you receive.

Thankfully because of this I didn’t open an email that managed to slip through our spam filters this morning.

This email from “Melonie Lacrosse” with an email address of jacobmarley@gmail.com has been reported as a Phishing email and rightly thrown in the Spam bin!

A friendly reminder to read and double-check emails like these before clicking on any links. If in doubt get a second opinion and DON’T follow any links or divulge any personal details.

If you are a Gmail user, it is a simple process to report the email as a suspected phishing email. Google’s instructions can be found here: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/8253?hl=en
