Examples of Phishing Emails
The best way to protect yourself from phishing is to learn how to recognize a phish. Phishing emails usually appear to come from a well-known organization (perhaps even our own school district) and ask for your personal information — such as credit card number, social security number, account number or password. The following examples are actual phishing emails sent to district staff. Some of them appear to be legitimate with a cursory glance others seem plausible, however all or phishing emails.
