Phishing

Phishing is an attempt made by an individual or group to obtain personal information from unsuspecting users by posing as a trusted organization or individual, such as technical support or one's bank. Commonly, this is done through email messages that are specifically crafted to look similar to actual communications sent by the organization or individual, at times even using real company logos and information. Please forward any possible phishing email messages to spam@umd.edu. You may also call the IT Help Desk at (301) 405-1500 to speak with a customer service agent about the issue.

We encourage you to visit our What is Phishing page for more information.
