ITS has seen many phishing emails this week where a Gmail account is used to impersonate a senior leader. The initial email asks for the recipient's cell phone number. If provided, the communication moves to text and the sender asks for gift cards due to an "urgent" need. This email is a scam. If you receive such an email please forward a copy to ui-phishing@uiowa.edu or call the ITS Help Desk at 319-384-4357 so we can block the external address and report the abuse to Google.
