<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Some of us are receiving emails allegedly from Dean Tedesco, but the email address is not his UH Exchange email. In fact, if you look carefully, the address
@mail.ru is a Russian email address. This email is similar to the one I mentioned before the Holidays that also perpetrated department heads asking their employees to buy gift cards for them. Please remember to analyze each email carefully, even if it comes
from a familiar name. In this case, the “From:” email address gave it away, despite the clever fake email signature. It is also unusual for the “dean” (or anyone else at work) asking someone to buy gift cards for him.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">As always: when in doubt, please ask me or someone else for a second opinion if an email even shows one “red flag.” Please email me if you have any questions
about spam or phishing emails.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
