Students: don’t get tricked by an email saying you’ve been awarded a grant from the Department for Education.

It claims to come from the University’s Finance Department, but it’s a scam attacking university students in the UK.

If you get this email:

• delete it
• don’t click any links in it. If you’ve clicked one, close the web page and don’t enter any personal information
• don’t reply. If you’re expecting a grant and want to check if the email you’ve received is real, contact the Finance Office directly
