Warning - hoax phishing email in circulation

12 Jul 2013

Do not open email entitled “Self Billing Invoice”

IT warning

There is a hoax email in circulation to a number of staff, claiming to be from a delivery company regarding a “Self Billing Invoice”.

The email asks users to download an attachment. Under no circumstances must this attachment be opened. Please delete this email immediately and also delete from your “Deleted items” folder.

Tips to stay safe online:

Never open email attachments or visit links to websites which:

  • you’re not expecting
  • are from people you don’t know
  • appear to be from legitimate people, but are asking for confidential information

If you think your account may have been compromised, you need to contact the IT Service Desk immediately on 0161 306 5544 for advice.
