TASK

This phish typically originates from a non-Cornell email address. The sender may appear as "[Spoofed Name] <[user]@gmail.com>". The sender typically impersonates a member of university leadership. Do not contact the sender. The scammer's goal is typically to coerce the victim into purchasing gift cards.

Good Morning,


Are you in the office this morining? I need you to run an errand for me. I'm heading into a meeting with limited communication access, so just reply by email.

Sincerely,
[Spoofed Name]
