Should I use “report spam” or “report phishing?”

...

Note

If you are unsure as to which report function is most appropriate, use "report spam."

Use report spam, if the email is:

...

  • Impersonating a college official

  • Referencing an unexpected shared document

  • Wanting you to click a link to verify your account

  • Using urgent language to prompt you to open an attachment or click a link

...

If the “report phishing” option is not available, such as on a mobile device, please use “report spam” for all types of suspicious emails.

I think I made a mistake! What do I do?

If you clicked on a phishing email before realizing it was dangerous, don’t panic!
