I've gotten messages from several users who infrequently use their MSU email account, asking if this is a legitimate message or a phishing attempt. Has anyone else seen this, and are these official messages from MSU IT Services? They don't normally send links to forms asking for personal information and IDs, yet the contact form listed below does ask for a person's name and MSU NetID. Several people who received this were afraid to use the form or fill it out. Any additional information? John A. Resotko Assistant Director, Systems Administration and Support Michigan State University College of Law 648 N. Shaw Lane, Room 208 Law College East Lansing, MI 48824-1300 email: [log in to unmask] Phone: 517-432-6836 Fax: 517-432-6861 >>> You are receiving this message because your NetID is not currently sponsored by a Michigan State University department and does not appear to belong to an MSU-affiliated individual.
