We have received reports of an increase in phishing emails with the subject line "Available?" or similar, that is currently targeting the Trinity community.
If you respond or engage with the scammer, they will ask you to buy a gift card as per example below:
### Start of phishing message ###
Thank you for getting back to me. I appreciate your response. I need you to please get some iTunes Gift cards from online. There are some prospects i need to send Gift Cards but I can't do that right now because I'm currently in a meeting and I have quite a busy day ahead. Let me know if it's possible to get them for me right now, so I can tell you which product I would need and what amount. I'll reimburse you before the end of today.
### End of phishing message ###
If you receive this type of email, please do not engage with it. Instead, report it to the IT Service Desk (itservicedesk@tcd.ie).
