Beware of the latest hoax email attack, today, 3 September 2012, aimed directly at students at the University of Bath claiming to be from the Student Loans company. This email has been sent to extract your Student Loan account details so do not reply.

The email asks you to update your account information via the links provided - this email is not genuine

Best course of action:

The linked has been flagged by the Google Phishing and Malware list and on the University firewall so access to the links should now be blocked.  The links all end in schemplinks.com .

A reputable company will never ask for your password via email. To find out more about keeping yourself safe while using email see our BUCS Spam/ Phishing web pages
