In the past, I have confined email fraud warnings to those specifically targeting UCLA email system users. However, many faculty either have supplementary gmail accounts or forward their UCLA mail to a gmail account. If you have gmail, you may get a message that looks like the image above and appears to come from someone you know with a gmail account. It may refer to a service called Infoaxe or Flipora or something else.
Do not click on it or forward it to anyone else. If you do click on it, it will steal all your email contacts and send them a message that seems to come from you. The likely goal of such "phishing" sites is to put something on your computer you don't want. Just delete the message.
