Wednesday, 10/23/24 Fraudulent e-mail sent to LACCD Students

Earlier today, a fraudulent email was sent to many LACCD students entitled “Financial Assistance Department {Disbursement} of the Los Angeles Community College District System ADMIN.” The fraudulent email pretends to include a link to “www.LACCD.edu/financialaid-management”, but actually links to a Google Form that asks for their LACCD email and password and BankMobile email and password. Students should not complete the form. If they completed the form, they should change their LACCD password and BankMobile password as soon as possible.
This is a reminder that an email is frequently fraudulent if: 

• It says something bad will happen if you don’t go to a website right away and provide your email address and password. This scam says there is a problem sending financial aid.

• It offers employment that sounds too good to be true.

In order to protect yourself, please:
Never enter your LACCD password into any web form where you received the link via email, even if that email came from an LACCD account.

• If anyone has received such an email and entered their District email password or BankMobile password into a website, they should change their password(s) immediately.

• If you have any questions at all about any email you received asking for your password, please forward it to @email for assistance.
