A new phishing scam has hit our mail system informing users that their mailbox quota has been exceeded and that the user needs to click on a link that is provided and login with their username and password to re-validate their mailbox.
If you have received this e-mail message, DO NOT click on the link as it is not legitimate. One obvious way to tell that this is a scam is that neither the link nor the originating e-mail address ends in a .com address to which you subscribe. If you are ever in doubt about a message that asks you to click a link, log in or provide information, please contact us at 802-583-4129. We can easily help you decide if it is legitimate or not.
Here is an example:
