Fake Zoom Download Link (05/05/2025)
Learn about a new phish or scam.
Description of the phish / scam
Emails were being sent from compromised UB accounts that claimed that your account is being set for deactivation and that you need to join a Zoom meeting to avoid the deactivation.
How you can tell it is a scam
- UB will never send you emails telling you your account is being deactivated and ask you to click a link.
- Zoom software should always be downloaded from the legitimate site. Hovering over the link shows that it does not point to UB or Zoom.
I think I have been scammed. What should I do?
