Dear Laurus Students and Alumni:
Email and texting scams are on the rise, and we ask that everyone
be diligent in protecting themselves. Below are some helpful tips for
identifying cyber scams:
* Email / text is from an unknown sender
* Email / text asks for your personal information
* Email says you've been hacked / have a virus
* Email / text contains inappropriate content
Please remember to NEVER:
* Download an attachment or click on a link from an unexpected / random email /
text
* Reply to these kinds of emails / texts
* Send money, purchase gift cards, purchase supplies, etc. by email / text
request
If you receive a suspicious email, please forward a copy of the email to IT
Support immediately at (805) 267-0622 or support@lauruscollege.edu, and then promptly delete the
email for your safety. If you receive a scam text, promptly "delete
and report spam".
Thank you!
