Fraud phishing scam

The University has been made aware of a phishing scam targeting new and continuing students.

Fake emails pretending to be from the Student Loans Company (SLC) are being sent to students notifying them that their account has been suspended due to incomplete information.

The email contains a web link which leads the student to a fake website to gain their personal details.
