Spam Regarding an E-mail Upgrade

Monday, March 3, 2014

Dear All,

Please be aware that we have had reports of e-mails being received by our users asking them to click a link to upgrade their e-mail account.   Please do NOT respond to this e-mail or click the link.  The e-mail is spam and did not originate from the Trent University IT Department.  Delete this e-mail immediately. 

The timing of this spam is unfortunate as it coincides with our continued migration to Office 365. 

We have taken steps to have this site removed.

A sample of the spam e-mail is shown below.  the link has been replaced with “XXXXXXX” in this sample.
