“Verify Your BU Account Now” E-Mail is spam – Delete it

January 31st, 2008

If you got an e-mail from “upgrade@bu.edu” asking you to supply for you email username and email password appears to be a phishing scheme. We would *never* ask you to e-mail your password. Please just delete the e-mail.

As always, if you have an e-mail that is suspect, you can call the Service Desk at (617) 638-5419 or forward the e-mail to abuse@bu.edu to verify if it is legitimate.
