<p>It seems kind of fishy...specially since it asks for your password.</p>
<p>Hm, yeah. Asking for everyone’s (staff, too?) information doesn’t sound right. I didn’t get anything like this.</p>
<p>You can never be too sure though. Maybe it’s legitimate…</p>
<p>Wow. They would never ask for your password, they can tell if you use your email account by checking the last time you logged in.
That definitely looks like a phishing email. I would forward it to the BOL Help Desk (<a href=“mailto:consult@ucla.edu”>consult@ucla.edu</a>), or you can call them at (310) 267-4357 option 1.</p>
<p>Oh, and Bios TUP Data base is total ********. No one in tech uses terms like that, they just strung a couple of words together in an attempt to confuse students.</p>
<p>Yeah, it sounded like a scam even before I opened it. The subject had a bunch of exclamation points in it. Thanks for the info!</p>
<p>Seems like a scam.</p>
<p>Now that I’ve reread it I’m sure of it. It has grammatical mistakes. UCLA would never send that.</p>
<p>“to enable us know if you are still making use of your email box” </p>
<p>“we will be deleting all email account that is not functioning so as to create more space for new user.”</p>
<p>and this was the subject “Urgent on your Email!!!”</p>
<p>lol. Don’t you have to be smart to be a scam artist?</p>
<p>This is kinda scary though.</p>
<p>What if someone were to answer that email without reading it carefully? What if a sleep-deprived student were to give a scammer their account information?</p>
<p>ciaokarol - be sure to forward this to ucla</p>
<p>Yeah, if they mass emailed this I’m sure someone is bound to fall for it. :(</p>
<p>yeah I know. I already forwarded it to the address thinkgolden posted and when I am sure that they received it I am deleting that e-mail.</p>
