1.1. Reporting Suspicious Emails

Hey there, party people!

Have you ever received an unexpected email with links, attachments, or requests for you to do weird things?

You could:

Click on all the links No, don't.

Open all the attachments Seriously, please don't.

Do the weird things Sensing a theme?

I encourage you to report any email you find suspicious, even if you’re 100% certain it’s bad.

In the Outlook desktop application, you’ll find a Report Suspicious Email button in the ribbon when you have an email selected.

In Outlook Web App, it’ll be next to the Reply button. You may receive a pop-up asking to give the button permission to work.

If you find yourself in a situation where you only have access to the Outlook app on your phone, you’ll be able to forward the email to phish@goodwillwm.org.

When you use the Report Suspicious Email button, the email will be sent to us and deleted from your mailbox. If we determine the email was safe, we’ll send it back to you.

Finally, rest easy knowing you are doing your part to make the world a better place.
