Student Finance Company phishing emails: ‘Notification of Student Finance Payment’

Posted on 5 September 2011, submitted by Wai-Tong Cheung

Please be wary of phishing/spam emails pretending to be from the Student Finance Company. These emails link you to unofficial websites which either try to steal your log-in details or put your computer at risk with viruses/malware/spyware. The best thing to do if you are not sure if an email is official is to ignore any links in the email and visit the company/organisation’s website by typing it into your browser.

Don’t be fooled into unknowingly sending 39,000 (or more) spam emails!

Posted on 3 August 2011, submitted by Alison Brook

Another email scam is going around, asking for your username, log-in, date of birth, and real name. This one has the subject line ‘Warning!!! Your Email Account Quota Exceeded..’. At least one person has replied, and as a direct result, we have had to block over 39,000 spam messages sent out from the compromised account. If three people replied, that would be already 117,000 messages, 30 people responding would be over a million messages – you can see how quickly it builds up and how much we block! Please remember that the University ICT team will never ask for your log-in and password details by email. If in doubt, please contact ISDirect on ext 3333, or 01604 893333, or, isdirect@northampton.ac.uk. Thank you.
