We get a lot of spam at ACC. Your email address is a tempting target.
We get hundreds of these a week, so be smart about evaluating the authenticity of messages you receive.
Think before you click on reply or an attachment!
If a message looks phishy, it probably is. Some key indicators that a message might be spam:
The Sent from name does not match the sent from email address
The email address domain (like @arapahoe.edu) does not match the message, or seem legitimate
Grammar may be sketchy
Requests are unusual (asking for personal or work information, or purchases requested by someone unknown)
There are more tell-tale signs, but trust your instincts. If something seems off about a message, it’s probably spam.
When you receive a suspected spam or phishing message, simply forward it to Z-SPAM1@cccs.edu email and the CCCS security system will take over from there.
