New Phishing Scheme from "EDU ACCOUNT TEAM"

VCU email customers may see an email from the "EDU ACCOUNT TEAM" in their email inbox this morning. The Subject line is "VERIFY YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNT NOW". This is a phishing attempt to harvest your email username and password. In many cases this is a person's eID information which can give someone access to various systems in your name with access to your data. DO NOT respond to this email. Please delete it immediately. Technology Services staff is working to resolve this issue on a system level but the easiest way to deal with this email is to just delete it from you inbox. Please contact the Technology Services Help Desk with any questions at 828-2227.
