Phishing Summary

This phishing email attempts to trick the recipient by appearing to be a voicemail alert. The email subject and sender address may be formatted to impersonate a U-M system. The subject and message may also contain a real or fake phone number (removed here for safety). Clicking the link in the phishing email opens a fake Outlook login window. 

Always check the URL before logging in. Checking the URL of the fake outlook login page shows that this is not a U-M email system.

Phone numbers and names have been removed from the example of the email text below for security and privacy.
