Phishing Scams
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recently several emails that appear to be from JP Morgan Chase (who handles university ProCards) have been received by members of the university community. These emails claim that there has been a breach of security and request your password and other sensitive data to confirm your account.
Please note that the bank will never ask for your password or personal information over email. These emails are considered to be a "phishing scam" and are attempting to obtain your personal data for inappropriate uses. If there is ever a question of an email's validity, either contact the bank directly or Procurement Services.
Personal Discounts Available
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't forget the university offers many discounts from our preferred suppliers for personal use. Discounts include car rentals, cell phone service, computer and software purchases, and hotel stays.
