Be aware of phishing scams, particularly ones asking you to buy prepaid cards or gift cards. Phishing scams are emails or other messages that appear to come from a known sender but are actually sent by hackers or other dangerous entities. Phishing emails often ask a user to click on a fraudulent link or request personal information such as a password or banking information. Read more.

What you may see

The email is personalized with your name as the recipient.
The “from” field contains the name of a Wake Forest professor or student. The email may use the name, title, contact information of the real WFU-affiliated person in the signature and/or in the text of the message.
The sending email address may be spoofed. A spoofed email address will look exactly like a real email address. Before sending a reply, always check the reply-to field. Generally, legitimate email from an individual will have matching reply-to and from addresses.
