Cybersecurity Awareness – Don’t fall for fake grant or job offers
Phishing emails are a regular occurrence, a cyber threat lurking in your inbox. While Fleming makes every effort to reduce phishing emails, no system is perfect, and your awareness is key to protect yourself from phishing scams. Always exercise extra caution with any emails offering grants, bursaries or job offers.
Be aware of trusted sources for College information:
- Grants or bursaries notices will only be sent by our Financial Aid office (FinAid@flemingcollege.ca) or Advancement & External Relations department (alumni@flemingcollege.ca).
- Job opportunities and postings for on-campus student work are only ever posted to the Evolve Applicant Portal maintained by the Fleming College Human Resources department. Fleming College never sends mass communications about specific job postings. Refer to the Fleming College Career Services page for assistance with student employment at the College or elsewhere.
- Job offers will only be sent by our Human Resources department (hr@flemingcollege.ca) or a hiring manager that has interviewed you for job.
- Emails from outside of the organization, not from the @flemingcollege.ca email domain, include an “external sender” warning banner.
7 Red Flags of Phishing
You can increase your awareness by being able to spot the 7 Red Flags of Phishing. View them here.
What should you do if you suspect or spot a phish?
- Report a Phish: In Outlook (desktop or web), click on the [ Report ] button. After making the report, the email is automatically deleted.
- If the email appears to be from someone you know, reach out to the sender through a different channel. i.e. Call the sender of the message on the phone and ask them if they sent you the message.
- If unsure, just remember – When in doubt – Throw it out! And just delete the email.
Where can I go for further assistance?
- Review the phishing resources available in our IT knowledge base.
- Visit the Government of Canada’s GetCyberSafe website for more information and tips beyond the 7 Red Flags for Phishing.
- Review phishing awareness videos on LinkedIn Learning.
