HR Department Message

Another phishing attempt claiming to come from the HR department is making rounds. Please just delete this message, report it using the report message button in Outlook, or forward it as an attachment to abuse@purdue.edu

How do we know this is phishing:

Purdue will not send emails with links.

If you hover your mouse cursor over the link, you'll see that the link does not go to a Purdue.edu URL.

If you search the Purdue directory for the person who sent this email, you will see that they are a student and do not work in HR.

Phone numbers listed are not Purdue numbers

Font is comic sans.
