Avoid a blocked account - Don't reply to email scams
May 7, 2008
by Sean O'Malley
If you receive a message asking for your email username and password, do not reply. Instead, forward that message to the OIT Service Desk at servicedesk@ohio.edu.
OIT blocks replies to known scam messages; however, with each new variation, a few replies get through before we can update our filters. If you reply to such a message before we add it to our filters, we will attempt to contact you. If we are unable to do so, we will disable your account as a precaution.
