Gift Card Email scam circulating MIX email system

Please be advised that fraudulent emails are being circulated through the MIX email system. The email scam appears to have been sent from a WVU faculty (in this case from a Gmail account) to students asking the students to purchase gift cards, scratch off to reveal code and send a picture back to the sender. Please delete and do NOT respond to these types of messages. If you have any questions, please contact the HSC Help Desk at hsc_helpdesk@hsc.wvu.edu .
