If you receive an unexpected message like this, forward the email as an attachment to abuse@rochester.edu, then delete the message and do not respond. If you have already made purchases or wire transfers, please contact Public Safety to file a report. Confirm the sender’s address if you are expecting a message from the student employment office.
