The “View Document” link is a false link and redirects you to a malware download. And th originating sender is not a Wesleyan Address.

This came with an attachment that is infected with malware. Never click on an attachment you are not expecting or have a sense is not legitimate. If you aren’t sure about an email or attachment from a known colleague/contact or were not expecting anything for them then call or email them. Ask if they had sent an attachment. Ask what it is about. Don’t be afraid of taking extra steps to keep Wesleyan and yourself at home, safe.
