🚩 The email is not from a newschool.edu email address and impersonating a New School professor. All business emails conducted by New School faculty and/or staff are always sent using a verified @newschool.edu email address but always exercise caution in interacting with emails from both known and unknown sender.
🚩 The email requests their cell phone number. All official business conducted at The New School by faculty and staff will be conducted via @newschool.edu email, not by phone or text.
If you received this email, do not engage with the email— do not reply, download attachments, or click on links. Please forward the email to IT Central at ITCentral@newschool.edu to report the phishing scam and then delete the email from your inbox.
