Re: [MSUNAG] FW: New Toshiba Web Site for MSU Faculty and Staff
Wouldn't the proper procedure have  been for them (Toshiba) to go to the computer store on campus and have them put a link on the cstore website, with all that information (if it is true).    
 
I take this kind of direct solicitation with an eye of skepticism as it could be an attempt at social engineering.

Looks like a legitimate affiliate site to me – a lot of companies do this kind of “limited affiliate” system where they authenticate based on user email domain, and they’re not asking for our MSU passwords – the only thing I can think of them getting out of this would be a list of likely MSU toshiba purchasers, and if they really wanted a list of msu.edu email addresses there are much easier ways to get it through the LDAP service.

Is this for real, or is it a sophisticated phish?

All MSU Faculty and Staff,
 
Toshiba is proud to announce the new MSU website we have set up for faculty and staff to purchase directly from the manufacturer at special member pricing.  We offer you special pricing on everything from tablet PCs and laptops, to projectors and TVs.  The following steps are needed to obtain access to the new website.  Please contact me if there are any issues you encounter in registration, or any products you would like to have added to the site.  I look forward to being of service as your dedicated account manager.
 
Go to www.store.toshiba.com/customer <http://www.store.toshiba.com/customer>
Click on “new user”
The account number is 1237552
Enter your information. Please use just the msu.edu email ending as it won’t recognize any other (in other words, don’t use mail.msu.edu or others like that) and click register
You should get a pop up saying your temporary password is being emailed to you.
On the sign in page, list your account number, email address and the temporary password, it will take you to a prompt to change your password. Once in, check out your great discounted pricing and let me know if I can help in any way.
I request if you are planning on doing a purchase order, you save a quote in the site and still send me the copy of the PO via fax or email for processing.  You may reference your quote number that you create on the PO.
Thank you,

Jeff Mikosz
