Still Phishing
Another round of phishing. It seems to be a Monday thing, as we have a new round every Monday several weeks in a row. It all boils down to the same thing, tho. "click here to keep your account from being deactivated". Then all you have to do is enter your user ID and password on some random webpage and you are all set. I'm constantly surprised at the number of folks that fall for this sort of thing. If a random stranger asks you for your house or car keys, would you hand over your keys and point out which car/house is yours? If you did, you should not be surprised if your things get stolen. Actually, you can't call it theft at that point. It's a donation. So don't call me saying that your password was stolen. You gave it away, and likely compromised the entire network. Again. Thanks for your consideration. Also, you can't complain that your inbox is full of crap you didn't sent. In actuality, you did send it by giving a stranger your password.

What's my name?
Yes, I realize you are one of the more important folks in this organization, a big muckety-muck and all, but honestly. We have no idea what your personal email address is. We don't know your university password much less your personal one. Be a dear and keep up with that your self, OK Punkin? Thanks so much.
