Phishing scam tip: Beware of urgent or threatening language in subject lines
Invoking a sense of urgency or fear is a common phishing tactic. Beware of subject lines that claim your account has been suspended, your account had an unauthorized login attempt or your email is over its storage limit. Read your emails carefully. If the email looks suspicious, disregard it and forward it to phishing@llcc.edu.
Phishing is a fraudulent attempt to obtain personal information from you, such as passwords, banking information, etc. and are most commonly sent to you by email.

Phishing scam tip: Don’t give up personal information
Legitimate banks and most other companies will never ask for personal credentials via email. Don’t give them up. Also LLCC, including the IT Help Desk, will never ask you for your login name and password or any other personal information. Read your emails carefully. If the email looks suspicious, disregard it and forward it to phishing@llcc.edu.

Phishing scam tip: analyze the salutation
Is the email addressed to a vague “Valued Customer”? If so, watch out — legitimate businesses will often use a personal salutation with your first and last name. Read your emails carefully. If the email looks suspicious, disregard it and forward it to phishing@llcc.edu.

Phishing scam tip: Check for spelling mistakes
If you notice mistakes in an email, it might be a scam. Cybercriminals are not known for their good grammar and spelling. Professional companies or organizations usually have a staff of copy editors that will not allow a mass email like this to go out to its users. Legitimate messages usually do not have major spelling mistakes or poor grammar. Read your emails carefully. If the email looks suspicious, disregard it and forward it to phishing@llcc.edu.

Phishing scam tip: look but don’t click
Phishing is a fraudulent attempt to obtain personal information from you, such as passwords, banking information, etc. Such an attempt is most commonly made by email.
Look but don’t click. When you receive an email with links, hover your mouse over any links embedded in the body of the email. If the link address looks weird, don’t click on it. If you want to test the link, open a new window and type in website address directly rather than clicking on the link from unsolicited emails.
If you suspect the email is a phishing scam, don’t click on any links and forward it to phishing@llcc.edu.
