Again phishing mails with subject "Urgent request" or without subject
Again, a phishing email is circulating purportedly from a supervisor or dean.
The sender addresses of these mails are fake - do not reply! Delete this mail.
The mail content is "Do you have a minute? I need you to complete a task for me discreetly. "
It is about a scam attempt. The attackers are trying to get you to buy Amazon or Google Play vouchers for them.
The sender address is fake, the reply address is ninccq9@gmail.com, which we immediately have blocked by Google.
