A member has alerted IAMU about a phishing scam that was received yesterday morning. The email (see screenshot below) appears to be from IAMU and even pulls language from the “Rate Surveys and Studies” page on our website. Despite its official-looking appearance the email is NOT from IAMU. We strongly advise members to delete the email if you receive it and under no circumstances click any of the links.
The scam appears to be intended to convince people with Google accounts to provide their user name and password (to retrieve the fake document). With access to your Google account, the phishers can steal emails and other private information from your computer. For more information on the scam, CLICK HERE to view a report on the phishing scam.
IF YOU CLICKED THE LINK, it’s important to install malware detection and removal software. There are several effective and free options available on the Internet. It is also a good idea to change your Google password. Some suggestions for anti-malware software include:
