WHAT'S HAPPENING?
There are emails that are being circulated, an example of which is below, that
include suspicious links. These are not legitimate emails.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?
If you receive an email like this, do not click on the link. If a phishing or
spam email makes its way into your inbox, please forward it according to the
directions at
http://support.cc.gatech.edu/support-tools/faq/what-should-i-do-when-i-receive-spam-or-phishing-email
to improve the accuracy of GT's filters.

You can learn to recognize phishing emails. They frequently contain poor
grammar and unusual wording. Sometimes they will use a legitimate-looking
email address, but they don't always. In some cases, there is a mismatch
between the name and the email address in the From field. However, these are
not always present. The tell-tale sign is to check without clicking the links
to see where they point to. Phishing emails want you to visit a site with an
unusual URL that has nothing to do with the purported sender. In the example
below, the links point to a site unrelated to the purported sender.
