Email Attachments

While email is an easy to use option for sharing files with other individuals, file sharing is not its primary function. Check the attachment size before you send. If it is larger than 10MB, consider an alternate method of file sharing, such as Google Drive.

E-mail Caution

Although 老司机福利社 has many measures in place to protect against harmful mail messages, some of these may still get through. One type of message that is particularly problematic is the 鈥減hishing鈥 message. Phishing is a variation of unsolicited e-mail that involves tricking the recipient into believing that the message originated from a trusted source such as a bank, credit card company, insurance company, or retail store. 

"Phishing" messages have the appearance of legitimacy, but ask the recipient to provide private information such as account numbers, usernames, and passwords. If you receive a message requesting personal authentication data, do not respond. Legitimate companies will not request this information via e-mail. If you have any doubts, contact the company through other means (telephone, fax, U.S. Mail).

Other methods of protecting yourself from phishing scams include:

  • Never click on links in e-mail messages. Their true destination is often disguised. If you feel you must visit the link, type it in manually, DON'T click on the link in the mail message.
  • Do not call telephone numbers included in suspicious messages. Look them up via an alternative source such as the phone book, 411 operator, or AnyWho 
  • Check an online phishing archive to see if the message that you have received is a known phishing scam 
  • Review all financial statements (e.g., checking account, credit card) carefully as soon as you receive them and report any unusual activity immediately.

Check your credit report periodically for any unusual activity. You can request a credit report through:

  • Experian http://www.experian.com 
    PO Box 9554, Allen, TX 75013 
    888-397-3742
  • Equifax http://www.equifax.com 
    PO Box 740256, Atlanta, GA 303740
    800-525-6285
  • TransUnion http://www.transunion.com 
    PO Box 6790, Fullerton, CA 92834
    800-680-7289

If you fall victim to a phishing scam, file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at 

You can report phishing scams online at The Antiphishing Working Group or MillerSmiles.

Faculty & Staff

Actively employed University faculty and staff are provided with access to a University GoPortal and e-mail account, powered by Microsoft Office 365. The usernames are created using a combination of last name, first initial, and occasionally numeric digits as needed to make the username unique. For example, Susan L. Robertson could be assigned the username 鈥渞obertss1鈥. Accounts also have a more descriptive alias to be used as their e-mail address. Continuing with the example, Susan Robertson e-mail address will also be designated as susan.roberston@stockton.edu or something similar.
