We have observed an uptick in scams targeting students, faculty and staff. In general, they are predominantly email-based, and often mimic job offers, research opportunities, or the occasional piano for sale.
Please remember, only trust emails that come from @williams.edu addresses. We employ solid defensive security measures for our domain, and actively monitor it for any issues or concerns. If you’re unsure about an email, please use the three vertical dots in Gmail to report it as Spam (if it’s just bothersome junk) or Phish (if it’s targeting you, has unwanted links/attachments, etc).
When in doubt, please reach out! Thank you!
