Let's face it, you will receive emails from time to time that look real, maybe have official looking seals, logos and might even be people you do business with so they seem genuine. Heck maybe they even say its from IT&S at Guilford College. But, if they are asking you for your personal information, they're not real - its a spammer phishing for whatever they can get from you. They will send these messages to college students during busy times of the year when you are more apt to respond out of haste.
Avoid being scammed! JUST DELETE THESE EMAILS.
