Must Read – MRU impersonators are back – 11/16/18

 

A few weeks back I warned the Mount Royal Community that emails were making the rounds that appeared to be from Mount Royal Employees.  Typically the impersonated employees  were supervisors of some sort and the emails were sent to their reports. The criminals were taking advantage or our natural tendency pay attention and take action when we are contacted by our supervisor.

Unfortunately the scam is back.  Thankfully abuse@mtroyal.ca has been flooded with reports and no one has yet taken the bait. However just to be on the safe side, I thought I would give everyone a friendly reminder to check the sender’s email address before responding to an email.
