Phishing scam aimed at Lafayette

Several Lafayette email users have recently received an email message from the "EDU messaging center" saying that the user's account will be deleted unless s/he sends a reply that contains the account's password. The message appears to be vaguely legitimate by virtue of containing the user's actual name, the Lafayette Webmail logo, and a snappy image of the Marquis.

This message is part of a "phishing" scam whose sole purpose is to gain access to email credentials so nasty things can be done with them. If you receive such a message, or any other message from any entity that requests confidential information, do not reply to it. ITS will never ask for your password, and no other legitimate organization should either.
