Avoid phishing scams by never responding to emails requesting personal information such as email usernames and passwords, birth date or social security numbers. Phishing emails are designed to look as if they have originated from the reader’s organization or support department and can often be quite convincing. Telecommunications and Networking (ASK500) will never request personal information in this fashion. No legitimate organization will ever request personal information in this fashion. If you have reason to question the validity of any email, please call ASK5000. Do not click on any links in emails with a questionable source or content. More information can be found at Phishing, a page produced by the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration.
