We’ve been made aware of a couple of University finance departments having received fraudulent email requests. The requests advise that the vice-chancellor required assistance with a money transfer or purportedly from the vice-chancellor at their institution asking for assistance with an outgoing money transfer. In both cases the finance departments were sufficiently vigilant so the attempts to transfer monies failed so be on your guard.
