Phishing Scam (IMPORTANT TAX RETURN DOCUMENT AVAILABLE??) (Expires 1/24/2016 9:56am)

1/19/2016 10:00am Problem

The Information Security Office is aware of a new phishing message that pretends to be from UF Payroll Services concerning distribution of W2 tax forms. The malicious email provides a web link to a fake UF login page which is meant to steal victim's UF login credentials. Access to the phishing host has been blocked from UF networks.

Please delete/ignore this message and pass the word on to anyone who may be unsure.

Dear: Account Owner,

Our records indicate that you are enrolled in the University of Florida paperless W2 Program.
As a result, you do not receive a paper W2 but instead receive e-mail notification that your
online W2 (i.e. "paperless W2") is prepared and ready for viewing.

Your W2 is ready for viewing under Employee Self Service. Logon at the following link:
 __Click Here to Logon__

If you have trouble logging in to Employee Self Service at the link above, please contact 
your Payroll Department for support.

If you would like to un-enroll in the Paperless W2 Program, please logon to Employee Self
Service at the link above and go to the W2 Delivery Choice webpage and follow the
instructions.
