More Email Warnings

We periodically warn against email scams.  Today comes word from Inside Higher Ed that university email addresses are available for sale on the web in China.  That means that if an email seems to come from a UCLA email address, it may not.  Or it may mean that the message is coming from a UCLA address but is nonetheless a fraud.  See https://www.insidehighered.com/quicktakes/2014/09/09/university-email-accounts-sale-china

Emails from anyone asking you for credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, passwords, etc., should be regarded very suspiciously.
