Just got an email from my Dean asking if he can entrust me with a task, and I’m pretty sure it’s legit because the email is from deanmail556@gmail.com, which is surely only possible if it’s mail from a Dean? - ThreadSky

You immediately purchased gift cards, right? Just in case he's in an important meeting and needs gift cards??

I always have gift cards on hand, just in case a high level executive at my university needs my help

Definitely legit, but only after you’ve replied to 1-555

Got one yesterday pretending to be my Chair sharing a report on (wait for it) phishing attacks on the university.

Actually, there's a decent chance that was from our own IT department trying to entrap us and send is to mandatory online phishing awareness training jail again.
