Beware of the "Are you available?" Email Scam

April 24, 2019

Webster Information Technology is seeing an increased number of reports from people who have been receiving an email from someone impersonating a Webster co-worker, supervisor or executive. These emails often come with a subject line of “Urgent” or something similar and try to engage the recipient into a conversation by asking if they are available. The purpose of these scams is to manipulate the recipients into replying by pretending to be someone they know. Please be extremely cautious in your daily email communications.
