Increase in Spam Emails

We have been made aware of an increase in spam emails being received across the University.

If you receive a suspicious message, please do not delete or ignore it. Instead, report it using the ‘Report’ button in Microsoft Outlook.

Where is the ‘Report’ button?

Classic Outlook: Select the email, then choose ‘Report Message’ in the top-right corner.

New Outlook: Use the ‘Report’ option in the top bar 

 

Once you have reported the email, you do not need to take any further action.

What if I have clicked on links or opened attachments?

If you’ve clicked on any links or opened attachments, contact the IT Service Desk immediately on 0191 208 5999.
