The Office of Information Systems has been made aware of phishing attempts by cell phone text that appear to be from Dr. Bowen. The message says “Hi <Your Name>, I’m in a conference right now, have limited access to phone calls but let me know if you get my text.”
These appear to be coming from the number (423) 358-6432.
If you received that text please do not respond to it. If you have any concerns regarding this text, please send an email to campussupport@atu.edu.
If you respond to this text, you may receive a second text asking you to purchase gift cards on behalf of the sender to give as gifts to a student or staff member. Do not respond to any additional messages you receive if you have responded to the first text.
For additional information that may help you identify phishing attempts in the future please check out our ATU OIS page linked here: https://ois.atu.edu/phishing-bait/
