UPDATE PAYCHECK ACCOUNT

This phish typically originates from a non-Cornell account. The sender may appear as "[Spoofed Name] <[user]@gmail.com>" and impersonates an employee. The scammer typically aims to coerce a Human Resources or other administrative staff member into making a fraudulent direct deposit change. Do not reply to the sender.

Thank you for your assistance, and I appreciate your swift response.
