Hi,
I am from Ontario, Canada and do not attend this institution. But I have today received 2 emails from @udmercy.edu with a similar phishing scam.
It stated that I made a purchase for a game/app using my Paypal account and that I have 7 days to cancel it to get my money back. The thing is, I don't have a Paypal account, so I know it is a phishing scam... Additionally, it has random emails, like dyana_moudarres@udmercy.edu and it is does not have any company or contact information at the bottom of the email, like all official company/organizational emails do.
Please be aware of this scam as well. Delete the email and do not open the link.
Chris, that appears to be a spoofed email address. Suggest deleting the message.
