More than 60 e-mail scams have arrived at K-State in the past four months. Last May, the university began tracking and posting scams to the IT security homepage to serve as a reference for the campus community. On Sept. 25, the growing list of scams was moved to a page of its own. E-mail scams seen at K-State shows the date each scam arrived, the subject-line text, and a link to the full e-mail version.
The new page also notes basic security guidelines and precautions for e-mail scams:
- Learn how to recognize a scam e-mail.
- If you get a scam e-mail, just delete it. (K-State officials have likely seen it.)
- Never give your password to anyone in an e-mail under any circumstances.
- Follow scam prevention guidelines.
- Take fast, immediate steps if you responded to a scam and provided information.
The IT security homepage has been streamlined to list the latest e-mail scams and a link to the complete list.
