E-mail 'phishing' scam targets students

Ohio University is asking students to ignore an e-mail scam that landed in their inboxes and sparked many phone calls to the Office of Information Technology.-

but it can't get 100 percent said OU spokeswoman Katie Quaranta.

The e-mail appeared to be sent by support@rof.net, an address belonging to an Internet service provider based in western Colorado.

We don't know the source of the e-mail because e-mail scams are really hard to trace to a specific sender Quaranta said.

IT will send an e-mail to warn students of the scam. IT never asks students for their passwords or to open an attachment, and e-mails from the department never contain clickable links, Quaranta said.
